There was no doubting who was top dog at Ayre Clay Target Club last weekend.

Jack Kneen sealed a double success in the fourth round of the summer sporting league at Blue Point. 

Over a tough and technical layout, Kneen hit an opening 32 to finish ahead of the chasing pack which included Alan Kinrade, class winners Tony Tongue and Glynn Hooson-Owen and Arthur Hayes. 

After a quick lunch break, Kneen picked up where he left off and shot even better to clinch the Manx Petroleum Trophy with an overall score of 75, seven clear of nearest compatriot Jake Keeling and Tongue.
