Kartika continues c'ship domination

JAKARTA (JP): Defending champion Kartika Shooting Club has
maintained its domination on the third day of the Inter-club
National Championships at the Bung Karno Shooting Range in
Senayan, Central Jakarta, despite a decline in productivity which
saw them take only two golds home after grabbing six on Thursday.

Kartika earned its first gold thanks to Maryono who scored
667.7 in the men's air pistol event on Friday. Teammate
Sarozawato Zai scored 658.6 to finish second, followed by Idsyam
Kaplale of East Java Police with 656.1.

Kartika's second gold was won in the men's air pistol team
event after its shooters earned a total points tally of 1672 with
contributions by Maryono (564), Sarowawto Zai (561) and Sholeh
(547).

Plaza Blok M grabbed the silver when Jantus Haposan (548),
Alfred Sigalingging (545) and Indra Jaya (532) collected a total
of 1620 points. Third place went to Timor which scored a total of
1614 from Darwin Nasution (548), M. Syauqi (539) and Pandu
Pramarta (527).

In the men's free rifle prone event, Ari Setiatmoko of Timor
shot 683.5 points to grab the gold. He was followed by Abdul
Rasid Mursid of Bimantara with 671.5 and Soekarno of Pupuk Kaltim
with 669.9 points.

In the men's free rifle prone team event, Bimantara finished
first with a total of 1711 thanks to Abdul Rasid Mursid (572),
Bonny (570) and Thomas Leo (569). Kartika had to be satisfied
with being runners up after its shooters Saepullah, Suyono and
Darmin only scored 1686.

As only three teams competed in the event, third placed
Dewaruci, scoring 1676, was not awarded bronze as stipulated by
championship regulations.

Amanti Muslimah of Bali Police won gold in the women's sport
pistol event scoring 669.6. Erni Soekarno F of Timor came in
second with 656.3 and Bary Agustini of National Police finished
third with 650.

The women's sport pistol team event participants -- National
Police scoring 1634 and East Java Police scoring 1570 -- did some
fingernail biting while organizers were deciding not to award
medals because only two teams competed.

Erlinawati of Kareumbi shot 581 to grab the women's sport
rifle prone gold followed by Yasmine Arub of Gelatik 90 with 574
and Titik S. of Kartika with 573. (nvn)
