SATURDAY 27 JULY
There are two OFs in the Queens Final. Walkson, of course, about
whom there is tremendous excitement as he has a chance to do
the double (The Grand Aggregate and Queens Prize) in a single
year.
Nobody has ever achieved this in history.
Elrond Ford of course makes a brave go at it, his form
dramatically improved after last year’s cataract surgery.
Walker makes a tremendous maximum score of 75.14 at 900
yards, putting him within a v-bull or two of the leader Old
Greshamian Glyn Barnett. Nails are bitten to the quick at 1000
yds but Sandy drops his thirteenth shot for a 74.9 ending his
attempt for glory, and having to settle for 6th place.
Ford, who keeps insisting he is retiring from the sport to
concentrate on dog-walking, shoots a 74.10 and a 72.9 to finish
in 49th place, thus promoting himself to the highest X class (again)
and ensuring that retirement is postponed for now.
