RSA International Match
Featured Team Members
Jeremy Langley
Jeremy (a third-generation shooter from Devon) is a seasoned international shot and coach having toured for Great Britain on 18 previous occasions (including five tours to South Africa – spanning three decades). In 2017 he was Nick Tremlett’s Vice-Captain in South Africa where he main coached all three winning matches, including the most recent Australia Match.
As GB Captain for both this tour and the 2024 Palma, Jeremy has been working with a large GB Squad for the last two years. This ‘pre-Palma’ tour is a great way for the team to experience the challenges of shooting in South Africa and Jeremy is greatly looking forward to renewing old friendships forged by many years of international competition.
In his spare time when not shooting or coaching, he and his wife Judy can be found chasing after their two sons Benjamin (16) & Harry (11).
Seth Dowley
Seth started shooting at school with Cheltenham College when forced to choose a weekday activity and quickly became hooked on it. During Ashburtons and early tours, he found he particularly enjoyed the view from the coaching chair. He has gone on to coach his county, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and Rutland, as well as England in the National and Mackinnon, and GB on their recent Canada 2022 tour. He has previously toured with the UK Cadets, Athelings, and the GB U19 and U25 teams including two lots of World Championships in the USA and New Zealand. He is looking forward to returning to South Africa, his last trip having been in 2014.
Away from the range Seth works as an investment adviser for charities, corporates, and private clients and keeps fit with running, skiing and squash.
Tom Drysdale
Tom started shooting with the Air Training Corps at the tender age of 13, initially very unsuccessfully. With persistence and training he improved enough to gain a place on the 2006 Athelings team for his first overseas tour. Since 2006, Tom has toured a further nine times to all major countries on the international scene, representing GB Under 19, GB Under 25, GB and England. Tom’s notable successes to date include finishing in the Top 50 of the Grand Aggregate at Bisley for the last eight years with a 3rd place finish in 2020. Tom’s continued development has seen several individual wins at Bisley over the years and he completed the ‘Big 5’ in 2017 becoming only the 100th person to shoot all five matches.
Tom currently works as a Project Manager in London. Away from the range Tom enjoys playing and watching football, gaming, and hitting the gym.
Parag Patel
GM GC5 SM SB2 SC2
Parag first started shooting at Epsom College and his prodigious talent was in early evidence as he won the Canadian Grand Aggregate as an Atheling in 1994. This is his 14th tour with the GB team. Accomplished in both team and individual shooting, Parag has shot in all ‘Big 5’ matches with 69 appearances to date (including the last five Palma matches). His proudest individual accolade is having won the Bisley Grand Aggregate a record of five times 2001, ‘03, ‘20, ‘21 and ‘22.
He has also represented England in 4 Commonwealth games with a tally of 4 gold, 1 silver and 3 bronze medals.
When not on the range, Parag is an ear, nose and throat surgeon. He and his wife, Urvi, have three young sons, so he has little time left for golf. For the meantime, all his slicing is therefore done with a scalpel.
