16 July 2013

It is nearing noon on July 16th and we are in the middle of another hot, steamy day.  The high pressure system is staying on top of us bringing lots of sunshine and temperatures in the mid 30's.  To finish up reporting on yesterday's shooting, the Corporation lived up to its reputation as many Canadians had midday relays and challenging conditions.  There were several 44's shot among the scores posted.

In the Times, top Canadian was Fazal Mohideen with a 50.8.  Jim Paton was next with a 50.7 to place 34th.  In the Wimbledon, Pat Vamplew and Paul Tremblay were top Canadians, each on 50.6.  After Monday's shooting, the following Canadians were in the top 50 of the Grand Aggregate:  Jim Paton (22nd), Geoff Woodman (24th), Alain Marion (39th) and Pat Vamplew (49th).

This morning was the first stage of the St. Georges.  Highlights thus far include at worst, a tie for first place for Des Vamplew, who shot a fantastic 75.15.  There were a handful of other 75's fired along with a number of 74's.  This afternoon, the county team matches are fired so most of the team will be enjoying a well deserved afternoon off.  Tomorrow is the first stage of the Queen's Prize and the Conan Doyle.
