Rifle Club success in BSSRA Spring League

May 2nd 2025

The Rifle Club celebrated success in the British Schools’ Small-bore Rife Association Spring League.

Team B won their division with Bea C (G, LVI) leading the way with her average of 92.8 being the highest of all the shooters in that division. The A team were leading their division until the final round when they were pipped into second place by Bradfield – nevertheless, a runner-up position is a creditable outcome against some stiff competition. Unfortunately, due to issues with the army range, the C team were not able to complete their cards.

Henry H (S, IV) did step up as a substitute for the B team and shot the joint highest score in that division. He deserves further congratulations on his selection to attend the Maple Taste training and selection weekend for the UK Cadet Rifle Team. Henry shot very well under the guidance of the national coaches, he also benefitted from a talk given by Hattie Bramwell (OS) on the development pathway she has followed to become the GB Under 25 team captain.
