Wensleydale Siblings Selected for Great Britain Clay Shooting Squad

22 June 2026

Two talented Wensleydale siblings are celebrating a major international breakthrough after being officially selected to represent Great Britain in clay shooting

Local target sports clubs have expressed immense pride following the formal confirmation that a brother and sister pairing from Wensleydale have been chosen for the Great Britain clay shooting team. The elite young marksmen successfully dominated a series of high-pressure national qualification trials against top-tier competitive shooters from across the UK. Their selection represents a major achievement for the region’s rural sports infrastructure, with community networks mobilising sponsorships to back the duo as they prepare for a gruelling summer calendar of international championships across Europe.
