The competition was held at Lakenheath Shooting Ground between the 7th and 11th July, with the FITASC on the 8th, Prelim Sporting and the Sportrap on the 9th, the World English Sporting on the 10th and 11th.
The sweltering heat and humidity might have affected some people, but it was all in all a fine few days competition.

Joining Ben in the Super Final were Paul Simpson (187), George Digweed (186), Martin Myers (183), Carl Bloxham and Richard Bunning (182). Once the dust had cleared it was Ben who emerged as the 2010 English Sporting Champion, one clay ahead of Paul with George another target back. Martin Myers finished 1st in AAA.
 
Congratulations Ben on another World title.
