201 shooters
took part in the 10m air weapons events at the 38th South East Asia Shooting
Championship held in SAFRA Yishun from 8 to 11 Dec. The shooters were from HKG,

Our SSP

Irwan
paved the way with a team silver in the Air Rifle Men event. Ting Wei then
followed up with a personal best score to win gold at the Men Junior event. He
also contributed to the team gold for Singapore.
Our girls
dominated the Air Rifle Women Junior event. Adele and Xiu Yi finished
first and second; and together with Shuet Hwei’s 4th placing, they
clinched the team title as well.
Lenice and Yong Qing picked up silver and bronze in their respective event at the
Singapore Invitation Shooting Championship, which was held in conjunction with
SEASA.
On the third
day, Fion and Shannon wrapped up the championship with a team bronze in
the Air Pistol Women Junior event. As for the pistol boys, better luck next time.
The Shooting Academy ended the year on a high. The
SSP shooters remarkable performances throughout the year are confirmations of
their commitment and hard work. Credit must also go to their coaches, Chea
Rong, Song, Nigel and Annie. It is through their passion and
drive that so many of our young shooters are doing so well. So monkeys, remember to thank your coaches when you next
meet them.
