A Maspenock Junior Rifle League 3 position 300 match was fired on Friday evening January 7, 2011. The match was scheduled as a shoulder to shoulder match to be held at the Holliston Sportsmen’s Association range. With the threat of snow in the forecast coaches Rick Johnson of Harvard, and Rich Girvin of Holliston opted to shoot the match in postal format with each team firing on their home ranges. With outstanding performances from Eric Johnson (268), and Mark Vicik (224) the Harvard Sportsmen’s Club team posted their second consecutive league victory. Jonathan Hotyckey (212) posted the top score for Holliston in a losing effort. Holliston falls to 0 and 2 in league competition.
The Maspenock Junior Smallbore Rifle League was set-up several years ago.

Currently the League includes teams from Harvard, Holliston, Marlborough, Maspenock, and Southborough. Home and away matches are scheduled from December to March. An awards banquet is held in April to recognize the accomplishments of the junior shooters. There are about forty youngsters participating in the League this season.
