Schools’ Meeting
14 firers from Faulkners to the Upper Sixth represented the College in the Schools’ Meeting. The week went well with our performances improving each day. The Tuesday and Wednesday competitions saw ten of our cadets winning spoons for finishing in the top 100. On Ashburton day it was very hot and nerves played their part in our performance which unfortunately was below par and saw us placed 10th overall. Isla (J) won the Reserve and reserve aggregate on the day which gave us all something to cheer about at presentations. Nine cadets were also placed in the top 100 and received Cadet 100 badges.
The Imperial Meeting
Ten Bradfield pupils attended the meeting, the largest Bradfield representation to date, and once again proved themselves a worthy bunch on their rifles. Eight made it onto prize lists, with five highest possible scores during the nine days. Amelie (M) reached Kings 2 and St Georges 2, Maya (J) reached St Georges Final and Kings 2, Alex (F) got to St Georges 2.
Maya, and Will (H) shot for Berkshire and London respectively with Will winning a gold medal for the Astor which London won. Will was also awarded his Welsh flashes in his debut for Wales in the National match. Amelie was selected and shot for an England XX team against the Armed Forces receiving a special embroidered badge for her achievement. No team success this year but individually a good performance by all those that took part and some great experience gained ready for 2025.
Alumni in HM The Kings Final were Lucy Mace (I 91-93), Christina Cuming (M 15-20), Elliot Sewell (C 12-17) and Matthew Keel (E 17-22) in his first final. Christina had a great afternoon and finished in tenth place individually.
