The crowds that gathered at the MSSF ranges at Bidnija yesterday saw Willam Chetcuti winning the second Malta International Double Trap Grand Prix 2011 with flying colours.

Chetcuti managed 48/50 in the first round, 48/50 in the second and 49/50 in the third for a total of 145 to lead in first place for the barrage finals.

The final was over 50 flash targets where William Chetcuti managed 47/50 for a total of 192/200 to finish in first place overall.

The second, third and fourth places had to be decided by a shoot off where Hakan Dahlby from Sweden finished second with 143+47=190+s/off+10. Davide Gasparini from Italy was third with 141+49=190+s/off+9 and Francesco D’Aniello from Italy, fourth with 141+49+s/of+5
