Meet the U25s
Captain
Harriet Bramwell
Harriet began shooting at Sedbergh School aged 13 and continued at Shrewsbury School for sixth form, touring with the UKCRT, Athelings and GB U19 teams. She was selected for her first England tour in 2019 to Canada, being picked to shoot in the Commonwealth Match and gaining her first England cap. She is also a proud Lancastrian and coaches the county team.
This will be Harriet’s third tour to South Africa and follows a successful tour in March 2023 with the GB U25s and as a coach with the England team. She’s thoroughly excited to be returning in 2024 for the World Championships as Captain of the U25 team.
Harriet is in her 4th year of medicine at the University of Bristol, having just finished her intercalation BSc in prehospital medicine. She lives in the Lake District and generally enjoys outdoor swimming, sailing, and getting into the fells.
Vice-Captain
Tom Shaw
Tom is a self-employed architectural designer, specialising in residential development and contemporary design. The majority of Tom’s work is based in Oxfordshire and Berkshire, but he has plans to move into residential property development in the near future.
He began shooting at the Oratory School and is now Captain of the school’s alumni team, known as the Cardinals. This will be his third overseas tour in two years, having visited Kenya and South Africa with England, and Canada as his first full GB cap, both in 2023.
Tom is very proud to be part of such a strong U25 team and is honoured to have been appointed Vice-Captain. There is no doubt about the talent in the team and Tom is hopeful that they will be successful in their pursuit of the Word Championship title, even against the fickle Bloemfontein winds.
Adjutant
Henry Waldern
Henry first began shooting smallbore in 2014. In 2018 as part of Charterhouse CCF he transitioned to fullbore, competed in his first Imperial Meeting and has stayed ever since.
After school, he moved on to captain Exeter University Rifle Club, where he has just graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Physics and is now staying on for a Masters in Financial Mathematics.
This will be Henry’s first tour as both a team member and Adjutant, and hopes to put his experiences from individual and University shooting to good use. He has enjoyed a steep learning curve over the last five years, representing England in the National Match twice along the way. He hopes to build on his success for the future, beginning with the World Championships in 2024.
Squad
George Bramwell
George started shooting at the age of 14 as a pupil of Shrewsbury School, under the expert coaching of Tom Rylands. He began shooting smallbore before making the transition to fullbore, shooting the Ashburton four times, and is a proud member of the Lancashire county team. His favourite moment during his shooting career was winning the Imperial 150 team match.
Living in the Lake District, George does a fair bit of climbing, cycling and generally enjoys being outside. He is currently studying Sports and Exercise Science at Oxford Brookes University. He also competes in other variations of shooting sports most notably competing in Winter Biathlon which incorporates cross-country skiing and shooting in both prone and standing positions.
George is very much looking forward to going to the World Championships in South Africa.
Toby Cubitt
Toby shot his first Imperial Meeting in 2017, touring with the UK Cadets to Jersey the following year. He was a member of the 2020 Athelings but didn’t tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID also prevented him from visiting South Africa with the GB U19s but he made the most of the alternative tour to the 2021 Scottish Open, winning the Scottish Grand Aggregate by dropping only 2 points.
His 2022 Imperial Meeting was by far his best year, as he finished top 50 in the Grand Aggregate for the first time and received his first England cap in the National Match. In 2023, he competed in the H.M. King’s Final and came 13th. Toby is now preparing to tour South Africa for the first time with the GB U25s.
Toby is mid-way through his studies in Engineering at the University of East Anglia. After his 4-year course he would like to pursue a career in the Motorsport world.
Christina Cuming
Christina started shooting at Bradfield College aged 14 and quickly fell in love with the sport. Her first tour was with the UK Cadet Rifle Team to Jersey in 2018 followed by Canada with the Athelings and then Scotland with the GB U19s. Christina shoots for Yorkshire, and earned her England caps in the 2021 and 2022 National matches. She was honoured to be selected for her first GB tour in 2023 to Canada, shooting in the Canada and Commonwealth matches.
Christina recently graduated with a Psychology degree from Durham University, where she was also Captain of the University Rifle Club. This year, she is taking a year out to shoot, work a ski season in France as a cook, climb to Everest Base Camp and travel around South-East Asia. Once she returns to reality, she is hoping to move to London and find a job in the City.
Alice Good
GM
Alice started shooting at the University of Cambridge where she soon found form in the Varsity matches against Oxford, helping her team to a steady stream of victories. Following steady improvement year after year and not a little frustration at narrowly missing out on top-scoring some of the team matches she was selected for, including being 3 vee-bulls short of top scoring for England in her first National, Alice won the H.M. Queen’s Prize in 2022, becoming only the third ever woman to do so.
Away from Bisley, Alice has just graduated as a veterinary surgeon, and enjoys horse riding when she finds the time. She is looking forward to her first tour and experiencing shooting a target rifle at a range other than Bisley. Rumour has it she’s also the team doctor so, in combination with the human doctor on the team, she trust all medical risks will be covered.
Jemima Hince
Jemima began shooting in 2016 at Wellington College, under the tuition of Nigel Ball. Her love of touring started in 2017 with the UK Cadets tour to Jersey. In 2018 she visited South Africa and Canada with the GB U19s and Athelings and has now toured Canada three times, returning in 2019 with England and in 2022 with GB. As an individual, she has competed in Scotland, Jersey and Phoenix. In March 2023, Jemima travelled with the GB U25s to South Africa, where they won both international matches. She looks forward to returning in 2024 for the World Championships and hopefully securing more victories.
When not shooting, Jemima enjoys coaching cadets and in the rare occurrence she is away from the ranges, she is completing her final year of a Chemistry degree at Surrey University. When time permits, she can also be found sailing, skiing or walking her Labrador.
Miles Horton-Baker
Miles started shooting in the cadet force at RGS Guildford aged 14 and had his first taste of touring with the Athelings to Canada in 2018, where he shot the America Match for GB U25. 2019 saw him both captain the RGS team to an historic Ashburton victory and earn his first National and Mackinnon caps for Wales.
In the last 2 years Miles has captained Durham University Rifle Club, shot for Yorkshire county, toured Scotland and South Africa with GB U25, and been fortunate enough to train as part of the senior GB Palma Squad.
Away from shooting Miles works as a Graduate Surveyor at Savills primarily conducting loan security valuations for development finance institutions as well as providing development agency and consultancy advice to public and private sector clients. He also enjoys getting out with his camera and the odd game of golf, when time permits!
Toby Little
Toby started shooting at Gresham’s School at the age of 14 after breaking his nose playing rugby. Under the watchful eye of Freddie Grounds he became Captain of the school team in his final year and was selected for the 2017 Athelings (with Harriet as his Captain) and in 2019 the GB U19 team to South Africa. Toby is also very proud to represent Wales, having shot every National Match since 2018, and Norfolk county, for whom he first represented while at school.
This will be his third trip to South Africa having also travelled with GB U25 in 2023 and his second World Championships, after going to New Zealand with the GB U21s. He is really looking forward to meeting international friends on the range once again, and competing at the highest level against the best in the world.
Luca O’Flynn
Luca started shooting in 2013, at the age of 12, after he joined the Royal Grammar School, Guildford. Starting on air rifle for two years, he graduated first to smallbore and then to fullbore a year later. He shot with the Ireland team and the GB U25s shortly thereafter, and toured Canada with the Athelings in 2018.
Luca was selected to join the NRA team to the Channel Islands, first in 2020, but the tour was postponed and then sadly cancelled due to COVID. Eventually he went in 2022, in a team that went undefeated, which had not been done for over ten years. This will be Luca’s first trip to South Africa and he is very much looking forward to travelling overseas again.
He is mid-way through studying Product Design at Loughborough University, where he has founded a rifle club and hopes they will start competing in the coming months.
