SEVERAL members of the Carmarthen Rifle & Pistol Club took part in the recent junior internatio­nal competitio­n held in Bisley.

Representi­ng Wales were club members Steffan Herdman, Alex John, Siwan Burrell, Lucy Thomas, Jasmine Philipps-Kindred and Elena Philipps-Waring.

Lucy Thomas, no stranger to the podium, came away with two silver medals and one bronze for the Grand Prix, while Siwan Burrell, who was representi­ng Wales in the junior internatio­nal for the final time, came away with two golds and two silvers.

The club members and their coach John Kelman were very pleased with the results.

In mid-September Burrell, Thomas and Herdman are flying out to Ireland to represent Wales in the Commonweal­th Shooting Federation competitio­n, which is equivalent to the Commonweal­th Games but is just for target shooting.
