We start with the Equestrian Team who competed at Hickstead in the National finals of the NSEA Eventers’ challenge just before half term. Ralf B, Islay L, Pippa S and India M scored zero team faults around a challenging course and were 8th on time penalties in a field of over 40 teams from all over the country. Neigh bad!
Our Rifle Shooting Team has been competing this year for the first time in the Sussex County Small-Bore Rifle Association league. This involved 14 rounds of shooting against seven adult club teams. Lancing won nine rounds and tied one, shooting with club rifles and equipment against experienced adult shooters, finishing in an excellent third position.
The team shot for the competition regularly throughout the year, showing commendable consistency and accuracy for the only junior team in the division: with every shot fired counting for the team totals, the pressure was on right until the end of a close fought competition.
Congratulations to top scorer Jake P, Marina C, Mark McD, Isobel C and Angus K.
Particular thanks go to James L, who stepped in as an emergency reserve and responded with his best score of the year under the pressure of shooting the last card of the whole competition!
