2019-20 Competitions Finalised

Lothian & Borders Target Shooting Association Posted on by

Shot cards from the 2019-20 season that had been marooned in clubs that had closed have now been retrieved and the Championships and the CYOH have been finalised.

Championships
The Committee decided that, despite hopes earlier in the year that a Final for the main Championship could be held, it was not going to be possible, so it was resolved using the postal qualifying stage scores.

The other Champions are decided on the postal stage.  Here are all the winners:

Championship Winner Club Score
Overall Champion A Anderson Hawick 200
Ladies Miss B Burnside Watsonians 196
Veterans A Anderson Hawick 196
Junior W Somerville George Watson’s 195
Inexpert A W Stark George Watson’s 276
Inexpert B X Lin George Watson’s 275


CYOH
The Final of the CYOH was between Hawick and Watsonians B, with Hawick prevailing. Take the CYOH link in the Competitions drop-down above to see full details.

Clubs will be/have been circulated with the full scoresheets for these competitions.

The full prize list for the season is also available in the Competitions dropdown.

A History of the Border Rifle League/SSCA

Please take the ‘SSCA History’ link in the ‘About us’ dropdown above to see several pages dedicated to the background and development of the BRL and its successor the SSCA. The Border League was actually preceded by the ‘Berwickshire Miniature Rifle Association’.

Take the link for lots more information about these historical organisations. Included is an archive of all trophy and competition winners (as far as is known). There are gaps in the story, so if you have anything to add (or correct!) please get in touch with the Site Administrator.

Welcome to LBTSA

Lothian & Borders Target Shooting Association Posted on by

Welcome to the new Lothian & Borders Target Shooting Association website. The AGM of the old LSSA was held on 30th September and it approved the merger with the Scottish Southern Counties Association and adopted the new name. The region covered by LBTSA consists of the local government areas of Edinburgh, East, Mid and West Lothian, The Scottish Borders and Dumfries & Galloway.

Regular readers will notice that this website seems very much like the old LSSA one, and they aren’t wrong. The only differences are the incorporation of a new logo/emblem on the banner pictures and a slightly new colour scheme on the News page. The content and structure are the same. Should you be even vaguely interested, the new Constitution and Byelaws documents can be found in the ‘Administration’ link in the ‘About us’ dropdown above.

The old LSSA website will continue for a short time headed by a News post saying it is obsolete and giving a link to this site.
