Many congratulations to the four juniors from DNAA who competed in sunny York on Saturday at the first stage of the inaugural ArcheryGB Junior National Series. Qualifying went well with Rachel and Felicity finishing in 3rd in their categories, Rachel with a new county record*, and Eleanor and Hannah qualifying in 5th and 6th, Eleanor also with a new county record*.
The afternoon commenced with head-to-head matches, in which all archers shot very well with many close matches. Felicity and Eleanor finished bronze medals in their classes. Many thanks to York Archers for staging this great event!
