Many congratulations to Mollie Sawford (Lower Sixth) who successfully won the Cadet Challenge Shield, as part of the Bedford School CCF.
The CADSAAM competition is a national shooting competition for CCF and ACF contingents in the Eastern Area and was shot at Beckingham Ranges near Lincoln on Sunday 8th September. This is the main regional competition for ‘Service Rifle’, a discipline that seeks to emulate military shooting, with rapid fire, unpredictable targets and physical challenges.
For the second year in a row, the cadets scooped first place – last year being the first win in 116 years. As well as winning overall, the team achieved second places in both the Montgomery of Alamein, Cadet 200 Shoots and the Falling Plate Match.
Mollie said: "CADSAAM was an excellent opportunity to meet people from other CCFs and ACFs and engage in friendly competition. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and am looking forward to competing next year!"
