In addition, the club recently discovered Jack Roth will be in the junior Australian team and Amy Buys in the ladies Australian team at the Oceania Championships in New Caledonia from April 9 to 11, 2020.
At the Championships, Roth and Buys will compete both individually and in their team.
"Jack and Amy are both excited to be representing both their club and country in New Caledonia," Mudgee Sporting Clays publicity officer, Mel King said.
"It will be their first visit to the country and Jack's first overseas shoot. Amy has shot in Norfolk Island many times and also New Zealand in the past.
Being part of the Australian team is what many sporting clays shooters strive to achieve. To have two representatives from our club is an outstanding achievement.
