Army shooter Sapper Emilia Faulkner has been crowned Welsh Open Champion.

The former British champion and Great Britain international had a fantastic competition winning three gold medals and one silver medal.

The Scot serves with the Royal Engineers and was named Rising Star at the 2024 Army Sports Awards.

Spr Faulkner shot to fame in the sport after winning the senior Scottish championship at just 13 years of age.
