NCAS Intercounties – Senior

Posted on by Elaine

The senior team put in a good days work at the NCAS Intercounties tournament in Penrith on the 6th October shotting York & Hereford rounds. Cold but mostly clear, it was a tough competition with very strong teams from Lancashire and Yorkshire who carried off the majority of the silverware and Lancashire coming out as overall county champions with a massive 13,571 points.

DNAA highlights were Dillon Crow coming 1st in the Gents Compound and with Simon, Pam & Jess the combined team came 2nd overall – congratulations! Richard Ingram also came individual 2nd in the Gents Recurve and Rob Say 3rd in Barebow.

Unfortunately we were unable to field a complete team across all categories this year. Next year’s tournaments are in September (Nationals) and October (NCAS) – plenty of time to grab a space! – your county needs you!

Norton WA Weekend – results

Posted on by Elaine

From TO Karen: Thanks to the truly awful weather the scoresheets on Sunday were fog-damp before the torrential rain and subsequent drizzle hit.  By lunchtime they were hard to read, and at the end of the third distance we abandoned the original scoresheets to the judge’s care and used emergency ones for the last distance.  I’m not exaggerating when I say my kitchen floor was under a sea of damp paper for 24 hours before I could even begin to make sense of it all!

CONGRATS to everyone who survived the weekend and to all the winners! Thanks to everyone who supported the shoot and to Norton Archers for hosting the weekend.
