It has been a week since the ABT International in Nutty. Team Wales came a "creditable" second in Senior, Junior, Vets and Super Vets Teams. The best result we have had away from the Motherland since the start of the war.

Second? What about "Operation Cough"

Operation Cough was...was

Was unsuccessful. We pushed out Northern Ireland but England seemed galvanised by the disruption

All A Class shooters stay...the rest get out

FFS. What is Emyr doing? All he had to do was lick Ed and Theo Ling, touch Matt Panter's Guerini without sanitising, and shake David Lloyd's hand. He does that normally...

It was full proof

We should have taken out their entire top 10, giving us a defacto win by a Bye. Full proof I tell you

But they still had a junior shooting 195

I don't care about excuses

P-B and Jenkins shot really well again

I dont care about that so-called coach and ex semi pro rugger bugger and their custom stocks and forends. They should be good.

Where were the rest? There is quality there....Dando, Heyward, Evans. They should all be competing with the best around

And what about Tucker. He's had more Pathway coaching than a Pikey Block Paving specialist...or 'OT Harris' and his Black ASE

I really thought this was the year. Great background and Operation Cough combined to take home the gold

Finally a shooting ground with proper regulation ball trap targets, and the best background in europe. We will never have a better chance again to do something special. It's the hope that kills us.

Don't worry Claire, you have that free 2 hour coaching session next month remember

I have just looked at the scores in more detail

New caps did themselves proud

Hilliar travelled all that way as a reserve

PBs for Collins and Tucker

There are signs of green shoots poking through. That we are improving. Steadily. With new shooters and additional training with that mercenary P-B

There's always next year
