Shooting well, she dropped only two targets in the super final at the Southern Counties SG in Dorset to finish behind champion Chiara Cainero of Italy and China’s Ning Wei.

Local shooter Peter Wilson made the finals of the Double Trap event, with a personal best of 143 ex 150. But it was tough going in the final and he finished fifth.
