Competition was at the 300, 500 and 600 yards ranges on a day that was overcast, resulting in eventual rain which saw a halt in proceedings at the 500 yards range for about one hour before the action resumed.
Team Jaguar member Leo Romalho enjoyed a near-perfect day having dropped just a single point at the three contested ranges. Caribbean Individual champion Lennox Braithwaite was also in good form dropping four points while National vice-captain and Team Lion member Dylan Fields was five points off a perfect day.
Coaching Team Jaguar to victory were Braithwaite and Paul Slowe while at the helm for the Lions were Fields and local Individual champion, Ransford Goodluck.
