Welsh shooters Sian Corish and Richard Hemingway were selected to shoot for Great Britain on Saturday after excellent performances in the Dewar Match Trials held at Appleton Rifle Club.
Scoring 789/800, Richard finished top of his squad to qualify for the team. Sian placed fourth in the same squad. The top five from each of four squads made up the team of twenty.
The Dewar Match is an International Postal against the United States, with South Africa and Australia also entering in some years. Following the Trials, the team shot their cards – the scores of which are embargoed until the other teams have shot their end of the match. Liam Webster also qualified for the trials, but missed selection from his squad after a difficult shoot at 100yards.
