Roland Swift was top scorer for the Bloxham B team, scoring 43 out of 50.’All those shooting scored over 50%, which was a good achievement in the conditions on the day, especially as some had never competed before.
Congratulations to everyone who represented Bloxham School at this event on their sterling performances!
