Match Report
Gresham's School Mixed-U18A vs  Oxford University
On: Sunday, 01 Dec 2024
Venue: Away

The following day, the team packed up from Bisley and headed to Oxford, for a match against the University. We were fortunate enough to be hosted by Summer Fields Prep School for the match. Very much like the match the day before, the Gresham’s team were up against a team with far more experience and also OG Georgie Clarke. It was a very modern range and quite different to anything the team had shot on before. It was only four lanes, so much smaller than the range they shoot on back at Gresham’s. Again, the young Gresham’s team found it hard going but were able to keep the Oxford team to within 37 points. OG Georgie Clarke top scored in the match with a 197 / 200 (she must have had a good coach at School!). The Gresham’s ‘B’ team did manage to secure a win for the team, as they beat the Oxford Uni. ‘B’ team by 13 points.

Mr Grounds would like to thank all of our opponents over the weekend and also thank the team for such an enjoyable few days. They threw themselves into both the full-bore and small-bore shooting and gave it there all in the matches. The future is very much bright for the Rifle Club.
