Brendan Creane

About him

Brendan is a Chartered Accountant and Project Manager and works as a Director within a software development company at Canary Wharf, London. His bean-counting background ensured that he was swiftly 'volunteered' to act as Treasurer for the tour, and is also the Treasurer of the Surrey Rifle Association.

Shooting experience

Brendan is originally from Zimbabwe and followed in the footsteps of his father and elder brother by taking up fullbore target shooting at Clevelend Rifle Ranges in Harare. A long break in shooting occurred after leaving Uni until he attended an NRA Open Day at Bisley in 2010 and the familiar smell of nitro-powder lured him back to the sport. He won the Chairman's Prize for Tyros in his first Imperial Meeting in 2013 and is keen to continue building on this in an effort to become a better marksman. He is a member of Wandsworth and SRA shooting clubs, and received his Surrey County cap just prior to this tour.

What he's hoping to achieve on this tour

Brendan is looking forward to gaining touring experience and to meeting more shooters and locals of the Channel Islands. He is already enjoying the great team spirit within this year's NRA squad and hopes to be able to contribute positively towards possible team success, and learn from coaches and team-mates. With limited experience of shooting in different locations he is keen to see what it's like to shoot on the Islands.
