Match Report
Gresham's School Mixed-U18A vs  Wellington College
On: Saturday, 30 Nov 2024
Venue: Away

On Saturday afternoon, after a morning of full-bore shooting at Bisley, the Year 9’s and Year 10, along with Georgina B and Grace S all headed over to Wellington College for a match against them and Bradfield College. It was so good to see so many young people shooting all competing at one time. There were some 40 young people all shooting in the match. The match took a full 5 hours to complete but all involved thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. Both Bradfield and Wellington fielded full strength teams of VIII and were far too strong for the very young Gresham’s team. Wellington College won the match, beating Gresham’s by exactly 60 points and Bradfield College were second in the match, beating Gresham’s by just 23 points, which is a huge effort from the young Gresham’s shooters. Mr Grounds said that if they could get within 100 points then that would be a good result, and they far exceeded that. All though this was a big loss, the team should be really pleased with how they all performed against two far stronger teams.
