Teegan McCloy, Newcastle CTC Junior Wins the 2010 Australia Cup Final Open Women’s Event

Monday 6 December 2010

2010 Australian Junior team member and Newcastle Lake Macquarie CTC Junior Teegan McCloy, shot a Performance Qualifying Score (PQS) in the Open Women’s Australia Cup Final in Olympic Trap held in Melbourne over the weekend.

 McCloy, 16, held off a quality field in the women’s trap Australia Cup Final after setting a score of 69 from 75 targets in the qualifying rounds, a personal best for the New South Wales youngster.
In the final, McCloy faced 2004 Olympic gold medallist Suzy Balogh (NSW), Commonwealth Games gold medallists in the women’s trap pairs Stacy Roiall (VIC) and Laetisha Scanlan (VIC), 2010 Junior World Championship silver medallist Catherine Skinner (VIC) and the rapidly improving Michelle Beecham (VIC).
 McCloy shot 17 targets from 25 in the final to hold off Beecham by one shot, while Scanlan claimed the bronze medal, a further three shots back off Beecham.

This win and PQS result will firm up McCloys place in the Australian Junior Team giving her an opportunity to qualify for participation in the World Cup round to be held in Sydney in March 2011 and the World Championships in Serbia in August 2011.

JUNIOR CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS 18th OCTOBER 2010

Report by Selina McCloy.  HAS Team Manager

Junior DTL Shooters from the State Northern Zone and Hunter Academy of Sport have won the Junior Men's Team event at the prestigious NSW State titles held in Wagga at the National Grounds. Hunter Academy of Sports shooters Brock Goodwin and Gerard Sainsbury along with Murray Riley were victorious over 3 man teams from the 4 other NSW zones. The Hunter Academy and Nth Zone team members also claimed a swag of individual achievements.  As well as shooting a personal best of 75/75 in the teams event Brock narrowly missed out on a spot in the State team, dropping one target after shooting an extra 25 clays.  Brock then claimed Bronze in the Champion of Champions event and Bronze in the Point Score event.  To end the weekend Brock was upgraded from B to A Grade, an excellent achievement.  Brock intends to contest the ISSF Olympic Nationals in Sydney in December.  Gerard Sainsbury shot his first 50 target break without missing and had to shoot off to gain a third place in the single barrel event.  The six top shooters from the Points, Single Barrel and Double Barrel events contested over the 4 days must shoot another 25 targets point score to vie for a position in the 3 man shoulder to shoulder state team.  Gerard Sainsbury made the 3 man Junior State team after shooting 74/75 points in a nail biting final.  Unfortunately Brock missed out on the State selection by one point after another shoot off for the third position.  The Hunter Academy of Sport 2010 graduate Nathan Wilkinson shot consistently over the 4 day event and made the single barrel shoot off after a 50/50 but missed out on a placing.  Northern Zone and Hunter Academy Coach Graham Gosling travelled with the team to Wagga and say's the team performed very well, Gerard and Brock conducted themselves extremely well and certainly made their mark in the eyes of the selectors.  The coach will need to pull his socks up .....

NEWCASTLE LAKE MACQUARIE LAKESIDE CLASSIC

MARCH 2009

HUNTER ACADEMY OF SPORT CLAY TARGET DTL SQUAD

It was a proud moment for Hunter Academy of Sport (HAS) Coach Graham Gosling as he witnessed his new DTL Junior squad recruits achieve placements in Newcastle’s Annual DTL event. Graham said he was proud to be associated with a fantastic group of young people and excited about watching this group mature as adults and clay target shooters.

With 115 competitors on Saturday and 125 on Sunday the HAS team members had to work for their achievements against very seasoned shooters.

Kelby’s effort in the handicap was no mean feat to have to shoot 4 targets on her own to catch up with the first squad of qualifiers ( seven shooting for 3-5th place) then regroup with Frank Zilliotto and have to shoot a hard right hander off lane 5 to win the third place was very exciting and showed great concentration and control.

David Douglas shot consistently to take out "B" grade high gun, traditionally a very competitive grade. Even though Hayden didn't take home a trophy he shot well and was happy with his scores, a very mild and easy going young man. Nathan, Brock and Gerard all shot consistently and all had section wins.

Congratulations to the squad on a great performance.

There were 89 competitors which included the Japanese Winchester High Gun on their annual shooting  tour.

In the double trap, Mick Harris shot consistently to make it into the final top 6 finishing 5th overall. However it was to be Russell’s day as he went on, to out shoot two Olympic competitors to win the overall event, his first major open ISSF Olympic Trap event with a score of 120/125. This will open up the way for Russell to compete in overseas competitions. The National Shotgun coach approached Russ to see if he would be available to travel to Italy later this year at the World Championships.

HUNTER ACADEMY OF SPORT – YOUNG SHOOTER TAKES MAJOR AWARD

Our future Olympians will come from our junior ranks and one of the best nurseries at the moment is the Hunter Academy of Sport at Newcastle, which features Clay Target Shooting as one of its sports.

More than 2,000 people attended the presentation night earlier this month at which Newcastle Lake Macquarie Clay Target Club junior member, Russell McCoy from Old Bar near Taree took one of the major awards.

We sincerely congratulate Russell who took the award for "outstanding performance in an individual (non team) sport.

The Academy was founded in 1987 and is now Australia’s largest regional facility with about 600 young athletes taking part in the various talent development programs.

Congratulations are also due to NLMCTC executive, Graham Gosling, who is also the Clay Target Shooting Program Co-Ordinator and a very proud Head Coach. It is good to see our youngsters participating so well and at such high levels in shooting sports.
