Cecilia Catuogno-Cal and Anastasia Spiridonova have been selected to represent England in the BSSRA England Schools Rifle Team National Match 2015.
The selection process is based on the last 15 to 20 competition targets shot, the more the better in the eyes of the selectors. County level experience, or higher, was necessary for selection and many of our county shooters were not selected, possibly because our competition target shooting has been slightly restricted this year while our range is being rebuilt.
We certainly missed our Upper Sixth who have not been able to shoot this year since that automatically took them out of the selection process.
However, lamenting aside, Cecilia and Anastasia have done us proud by having their hard work and determination rewarded in their selection. Few pupils have the opportunity to represent this squad three times but these two do, this being their first while they are in Year 11. Congratulations to them both!
