PCRC rounds off the 2015/16 season with another win!


Well, that's the end of the Portsmouth & District shoulder-to-shoulder season.  PCRC's last match was at home this week against Wickham and we're pleased to say it was another win and a good score for our aggregate.  Here are the results:

Portsmouth City - 489

M. Nevatte (97)
A. Nevatte (99)
I. Cooper (99)
G. Scruton (97)
D. Reeves (90)
P. Upchurch (94)
L. Haskett (94)
R. Ashman (97)
Wickham - 476

A. Peters (91)
M. Ward (92)
T. Caister (91)
S. Dismore (99)
M. Barnes (91)
R. Heasell (96)
T. Malleson (97)
J. Willsher (92)

The team's average for this season was 486.7 (a whole point improvement on our average from last year, 485.7).  We have yet to find out where we stand in the overall ranking for the league (we'll have to wait to know the outcome of a few other matches from this week).

Special congratulations go to Richard Ashman of Portsmouth City, who managed to turn up just before we were about to turn off the lights and shot a perfectly respectable 97 with the range to himself.


Our final stats for the 2015/16 season are as follows:

14 matches (11 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses)
Total League Points: 23
Aggregate Score: 6814
Scoring Team Average (top 5 shooters of each match): 486.7
Top Shoulder-to-Shoulder Average: 97.25 (Gordon Scruton, 12 matches)

The competition for the best individual average was once again close this year, with 6 shooters all being within half a point of each other:

1st: Gordon Scruton (97.25, 12 matches)
2nd: Sarah Hart (97.08, 12 matches)
3rd: Ian Cooper (97.07, 14 matches)
4th: Richard Ashman (97.00, 10 matches)
5th: Marian Nevatte (96.93, 14 matches)
6th: Adam Nevatte (96.86, 14 matches)

Special thanks go to Marian Nevatte for her final season as captain of the team, and to the following shooters for attendance and participation at all 14 matches:

Ian Cooper
Marian Nevatte
Adam Nevatte

No shooters managed to get counted in for every match (going to show that we all have our bad shoots and that at the end of the day it's the team result that matters).  However, the most consistently counted in shooter this season was Marian Nevatte, who was counted in 12 out of the 14 matches she shot.

We'll update everyone once we find out our overall standing for the championship.  We were runners up last year, so we'll be hoping to match if not improve on that.  Fingers crossed.  To view the results and match reports for the rest of the season, click here.
