With both Wades shooting along side each other in squad two it going to be interesting to see who cracked first in the second round and it was Alan who missed his ninth target, so all eyes were on junior Arran to see if he could get 50 straight but it didn’t as he missed his 19th target to finish on 24 for a total of 49, but dad Alan, who  never gives up, ground a score out, chipping second barrelling  a lot of his targets to finish also with a  24 to tie with Arran on 49, Steven Craine was third with 45 points.

Results

  2. S Cross (41)
  3. T Davis (32)
