Irving Stevenson received his national colours and represented the Rifle Open Grand Senior Team

medal in the Semi-Auto Division, Grand Senior category overall. Congratulations, Irving — we in Mpumalanga and
across South Africa are very proud of you. This is an especially historic achievement, as Irving is the first and
only MPSA member to win an individual medal at a World Shoot.
