By JOHN KING IT was very pleasing to see the large number of competitors who entered the “Don Barns Memorial” Point Score Championship held at the Violet Town Sports Shooting Complex on Sunday, July 14. Ellenor Barns sponsored the championship sashes and brought some delicious cakes to support the event, where Lachlan McDonald enjoyed some success. It was certainly a cold winter’s day, with only a few light showers. There was even a rainbow forming as a backdrop at one stage. Mansfield’s Lloyd Parks emerged as the overall Championship winner with an impressive score of 145/150 in challenging conditions. Veteran Fred Heinze, representing Alexandra, was the next best with 143/150. Euroa’s Tony Rohrlach shot into form, scoring a perfect 30/30 in the Graded Double Barrel event. The Euroa members extend their thanks to the many competitors who braved the cold to make this memorial shoot a great success. Full Results: 10t D/B Sweepstake AA Grade: Keith Willet, S.
