Cowe gets smallbore nomination

Regan Cowe is the smallbore shooting nominee for the 2016 Marlborough Sports Awards.

Selection in the New Zealand Open team, plus a number of top performances over the past year, have seen Cowe get the nod.

In September, 2015, he claimed the master grade title in the Marlborough Champion of Champions match. His other wins include master grade at the South Island championships, master and open grade at the Ellesmere championship, master and open grade at the Marlborough closed championship, as well as top scoring in the annual DB Seddon Shield match against Nelson.

These performances saw him selected to represent the South Island against the North Island in the annual inter-Island match in Rangiora during August. His efforts there earned him selection in the New Zealand Open team which shot a postal match against English Home Counties.

As well as being a top competitor, Cowe is a dedicated administrator, serving as Secretary of the South Island Target Shooting Association, and an executive member of Target Shooting New Zealand.

His nomination is sponsored by Marisco Vineyards.
