IAN COLEY, coach to two Olympic champions, showed he is still a very able shot himself when helping the England Super Veterans team to win the Home International Clay Pigeon Shooting competition last week at Banbridge in Northern Ireland.
On what was a great weekend for the Coley family, Ian's grandson Haydn, 16, was the youngest member of the successful England junior team at the same event.
This was Haydn’s first time shooting for England and he came out on top beating Ireland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
Haydn hit 93/100 clays, while Ian earned the family bragging rights with a score of 98/100.
Ian is best known for his award winning shooting ground near Andoversford which offers a wide range of shooting packages.
He coached Richard Faulds and Peter Wilson to gold at the Sydney and London Olympics respectively,
