sport, local-sport,

Bermagui Field and Game Club officials said “it was another glorious day in paradise” for the April shoot held last weekend. The club hosted a 100-target meet with generous support from the Bermagui Country Club. A good field of eight squads turned out with locals matching up against visitors from Cooma, the Majura Park club in Canberra and the Illawarra. Mark Gscwend and Tony Crome headed up the set up crew and established two ranges with six shooting stations each that presented a great variety of targets. Officials said during the meet, Crome was “on-song” and shot a highly creditable score of 90 points, while Gschwend wasn’t far off the pace with 87. Phil Craig took runner-up honours in the AA grade contest with 84 points and third went to Craig Field, one further back on 83. In the A grade contest, Crome shot beyond his grade to score the day’s best, while Barry Dunn had 83 to secure the runner-up spot. Third went to Oscar Mower with a good round of 80. Mario Magrin also carded 80 hits to top the B grade standings from runner-up Graham Duncan just one back on 79 and third was Robert Shaw with 77. Officials said there was no juniors draw at this meet, but congratulated Oscar Mower and Josef and Holly Gschwend, who all contested the graded events. The brother and sister duo shot 67 and 69 respectively. The result also put Josef in second in C grade behind Owen Gauslaa, who hit 72 on the day. Robin Perkins with 77 took out Ladies grade but did not also win the within-squad rivalry that she had with Colin Brownlie who also finished with 77. Holly was named runner-up with her good round and third place went to Michelle Craig, who had 60. The $500 Jackpot raffle was won by Craig Field who shot well in the days competition but could not shoot the required number of targets in the shoot-off and had to settle for the consolation meat tray donated by Bennys Butchery. Officials said it was always a good idea to accept the meat tray as it keeps the treasurer happy. The club’s next shoot will be held on May 28 from 10am and it will be a 112-target handicap for the Muzza’s pairs with support from Mario and Barbie Magrin. Set up crew will be Mario and Barbie Magrin, Nev Brady, Jon Theobald and Pat Maher. The club has monthly competition days and new members are always welcome.
