Don Barns Memorial Championship a close battle

EVERGREEN Tony Rohrlach won the Don Barns Memorial Championship shoot at Euroa Clay Target Club last Sunday. Braving pretty ordinary shooting conditions, Rohrlach shot 142/150 to edge out Corowa visitor Brett Ford by just one point to win the point score event. With Sunday’s misty rain falling for most of the program, shooting conditions were certainly challenging, however conditions improved in time for the handicap event with Cosgrove’s Zac Felmingham scoring a fine 24/25 to win outright. The annual championship is in memory of Don Barns, a stalwart of the Euroa club for many years. It was a privilege to have his wife Eleanor and family along to present the sashes to the winners and the bonus was the excellent slices she presented as refreshments.
