Cambridge killed by IC gunmen

14 Feb 1997 — 1 min read

In the first competition of the season, the IC magnificent seven (plus Lee "Incredibly hunky and talented" Clements) blasted their way to victory over the Cambridge toffs.

The competition opened with Jacob "the Horn" Thorne stepping up against the best shooters that Cambridge had to offer. Not intimidated in the least, Jacob coolly shot the string that held the four targets up - sending them to the floor and the Cambridge team into disarray. Following the fiercely fought battle in .22 pistol, featuring millimetre precision from the likes of "Dead-eye" Dick Day and Mike "Ice-cool" Zethrin, the competition moved onto full bore pistol. Here the true IC skill shone through. As Graham-the-kid and Jon "Nutter" McCartney peppered the bullseye, their team took it upon themselves to leave their own marks - on the carpet.

As the display of cool nerve and steady arm continued the IC squad was forced to dig deep against a late comeback but it was too late. The result was inevitable - glory for IC.
