Hatherleigh Clay Shoot Club members competed for the De la Fontaine Cup.

The competition on Sunday, November 17 resulted in a tense tiebreaker between Greg Mellet and James Richardson, both with handicap scores of 36.

After a shoot off, James was presented with the De la Fontaine Cup from Ben Curtis, the landlord of the Duke of York in Iddesleigh.

Top gun of the day was Oliver Fray, James’s nephew.

Three clay shoots per year are competition shoots, two of these are handicap competitions and one is a top gun competition.
