Isle of Man ABT Championship, 4 August
The IOM ABT Championship kindly sponsored by Sadler Agricultural Supplies was held at Meary Veg Santon in dull overcast conditions.
The leader after the first round was Arran Wade with 23 points in second place on 21 were Stan Skinner and Mark Riley with Liam Kirkpatrick and Nigel Moffatt next on 20. Stan Skinner was the new leader after round two on 44 points with a three-way tie for second place between Riley, Wade and Moffatt on 42 followed by Watterson on 41.
Skinner was still in the lead after round three on 65 but now Watterson and Riley were in second place on 63 followed by Wade on 62. With all to shoot for in the last round Riley set the target to beat with 83 points but Skinner in the second squad scored 22 to finish in the lead on 87.
Watterson, who was in the last squad, had to hit a straight to beat Skinner but he missed his first target out which meant he had to hit the rest to tie with Skinner, he nearly done it but the pressure got to him and he missed his last target to finish on 86 one behind the winner Skinner on 87 – well done Stan!
