Firstly, apologies for the delay in getting these results published.
The 52nd Durham & Northumberland Archery Association Double One-Way Championships took place on Saturday 19 September 2026.
Archers faced challenging conditions across both shoots. Although the day remained bright and temperatures reached around 17°C, a strong south-westerly wind of around 25 mph, gusting to 35 mph, made for a demanding day on the clout field.
Nevertheless, there was some excellent shooting across the senior, masters and junior categories, with three tassels claimed during the competition.
