Last Thursday, the Abingdon School Clay Shooting Club travelled to the Mendip Shooting Ground for the Millfield Invitational. Facing established teams from across the country, our pupils delivered an extraordinary performance considering the clubs early stages.
Abingdon fielded two full squads alongside two individual competitors. In the main team competition, Abingdon A secured an impressive 5th place overall out of 21 teams, finishing just one point shy of 4th. They also excelled in the 100 clay flush event, taking 4th place. Angus led the way as Abingdon’s top gun of the day with a score of 36/50, ably supported by teammates Cosmo, Norwyn and Theo.
Abingdon B demonstrated fantastic squad depth, finishing joint 8th overall and matching several top schools’ first teams. Sener, Eren, Louis and Karam also performed brilliantly in the flush, finishing tied for 7th. Arran and Henry rounded off the day with strong showings in the individual entries.
Breaking into the top five and top ten, respectively, is a phenomenal collective achievement. Congratulations to all ten students for representing the school with such composure and skill.
