NCAS Intercounties – Senior
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!
