Training hard as ever but not quite hitting the scores. That sums up this month, as I came 2nd in our final trials for the European Champs. In order to be selected by British Shooting we need to attain a certain standard at specific competitions. No GB lady pistol shooter sadly qualified for the Euro's.

Aside from training I've been working hard to promote the sport in the south of England, taking shooting taster sessions to various county's Schools Games and Disability events this month. I want to demonstrate by example hardwork, dedication and commitment to achieving dreams. Always striving to do your best.

May 2015 culminated for me at the Channel Islands Open Pistol Competition, where I won three Silver Medals! There was still plenty of room for competition improvement, which has continued to fuel my enthusiasm and determination for perfection.

I stayed out in Jersey after the competition for a few extra days training, in order to make good use of the great shooting facilities. This was hugely beneficial due to the quality coaching and range facilities that the mainland UK doesn't have. This was slightly cut short as a result of the poor weather and ferry conditions. Whilst out in Jersey, I was asked to appear on BBC Radio Jersey, which was a great privilege. Jersey's sporting enthusiasm is ramping up, as the bi-annual Island Games prepare to descend on the island for the first time in 18yrs at the end of June.

The Channel Islands Open competition was a preparation event for the Games.
