Hi, hope you all enjoyed your trip. I've been trying to find out the overall scores of the 5th match in 2001. I'm sure someone will be able to tell me. Thanks in advance.
Cheers
The final score of the 2001 Roberts was United States 3852 verses Great Britain 3851.
The US Had a four point lead after the 50 yard stage and the British shot three points better at 100 yards. Had the US dropped one more point the British would have won on the strength of the higher score at the longer distance.
This year the British won with a score of 3842 as opposed to our 3806. The conditions this year were not as good in 2001 as witnessed by a winning score ten points lower than the past match, a big margin in a prone match.
