Creevy and Kneale for World Championships

by isleofman.com 9th July 2010

Manx shooters Harry Creevy and Tim Kneale have been selected by Great Britain for the World Shooting Championships in Munich later this month.

Both have been in tremendous form recently.

Kneale equalled the Double Trap World Record in Italy a few weeks ago with 147 out of 150 targets hit - he has been chosen ahead of former Olympic Champion Richard Faulds.

Creevy was a fraction away from winning the opening round of European Cup in Denmark in the 300 metre prone rifle. He scored 598 out of 600 in the eliminators and then fired a superb 599 in the final but lost out on top spot under the tie-break rules.

Both shooters top the rankings for the Isle of Man Commonwealth Games shooting team for Delhi later this year and have recorded several minimum consideration scores in recent months.
