At “Home on the Range.”
Not many of us are fortunate enough to
combine our passion with our job. Kathrin
(Kate) Neal is an exception. You see Kate
is an athlete who participates in the sport
of clay target shooting, whilst her job is
caring for the insurance requirements of
Australia’s
Firearm Dealers, Gun Clubs,
Pistol Clubs
,
and their various members.
Kate is a member of Marsh Limited
Adelaide based Schemes and Affinity
Team, working with Rob Low in the Sports
and Entertainment Division.
Kate who is mum to 20 year old Matthew
and 17 year old Rebekah, is a member
of the South Australian Clay Target
Shooting team and the reigning South
Australian State Ladies Champion, a title
recently confirmed when she
won the sash for the
second consecutive year
at the State Titles last September.
Kate had a busy 2009 agenda for in
addition to winning the South Australian
Title, she also competed at the Australian
Clay Target National titles and also the
31
st
FITASC Sporting Clay World Sporting
Championships.
The social environment and camaraderie
of shooting life together with the
challenge to improve her skills drew
Kate inexorably into the sport.  Kate has
progressed through various levels in the
last 5 years of shooting and has been
fortunate to have had the opportunity to
travel all over Australia as well as overseas
to Cyprus, Noumea, and New Zealand to
compete. Kate has recently been placed
10
th
in the World Cup Ladies Clay Target
shooting rankings after finishing off the
2009 shooting calendar.  Kate’s cumulative
score over three shoots qualified her in
the top ten world rankings of women clay
target shooters.
Kate’s Manager, Rob Low is also
heavily involved in the sport both as an
administrator and competitor. Rob also
competes in shotgun, target pistol and
target rifle shooting and when it comes to
Kate’s achievements he is very proud to
have her on his Insurance Team.
