No Pomeroy shooters won a Zone Trophy but they did take home some Colton trophies.

The ladies decided to carry the shoot-off over to the first half of the 200 singles championship and Erin prevailed 96-95. Holly broke a 98 in the second 100 on Saturday and recorded a 200-target score of 193 which gave her that day's Lady II Trophy.

Bunch Broke a 95 in the first half of the Singles Championship on Saturday, and a 97 in the second 100 for a score of 192 which was good enough for him to take home the B Class trophy.
