The Marlborough smallbore rifle team reclaimed the Hadfield Shield from Nelson over the weekend, after losing it last year.

After the single round Marlborough held a one-point lead, but surged ahead in the doubles round, thanks to good scores from the lower order shooters. Despite good efforts from the Nelson top order towards the end, Marlborough held on for an eight-point win, 2904.124 to 2896.107.

Val Wadsworth was the standout shooter for Marlborough, top scoring the match with 298.19, including a fine 200.13 in the double round.

Marlborough scores were: Regan Cowe 291.15, Richard Sampey 290.10, Malcolm Dodson 289.12, Val Wadsworth 298.19, Rex Schroder 287.10, Glenn Harris 291.12, Jason Henry 292.13, Phil Robinson 289.13, Dom Henry 290.06, Bill Stevenson 287.14, emergencies Sophia Wills 283.06, Richard Evans 288.1.
