Matt Skelhon
Matt won his class of the 2008 Beijing Games,
In para-shooting R3 10m air rifle prone mixed,
He took home to Peterborough the gold jeans,
Because he started shooting aged 11, fixed.
He won a silver at the London Paralympics,
To transfix a crowd behind him in a huge mass,
Also won bronze in a different category, picks,
In the SH1 R6 5m air rifle prone mixed class.
He made a WR in Rio in the qualifying rounds,
For the final of the SH1 50m air rifle prone set,
He was born in 1984 with neat October sounds,
And by Stoke Mandeville each day he’s whet.
