THE Euroa Clay Target Club conducted the Annual Koala Cherries Championships on Sunday and were rewarded with a record attendance by competitors. Some 47 shooters entered, and we saw some record-breaking scores as well. Euroa’s John Foulkes will certainly remember this day by shooting 98/98 to win the Double Barrel Championship from Mansfield’s Darren Clark. He then shot a further 17 targets in the next event to register his first 100 target break. Congratulation on a wonderful effort. Unfortunately, the traps that throw the targets decided to break down for some time, so it was decided the Single Barrel Championship was cut down to 20 targets. Only two competitors managed to shoot the 20 targets clean, and the resulting final went to Julian Avery from the Colbinabbin Club. Julian’s grandson Budgie also featured in several events including a first in C grade and several second places. Junior Owen Spencer also had success in the C grade section of the Single Barrel Event. Finally, the Handicap event was won by Mansfield’s Alan Kidd from young Budgie. The club committee would like to thank all the competitors for their patience in getting through the program and do apologise for the late finish. Full Results 30t Koala Cherries D/B Championship.
