TournamentsWhat a way to start: National Series kicks off in styleThere were thrills, spills and some spectacular shooting as the Archery GB National Series kicked off in style. More than 200 archers gathered for stages 1 and 2 of the event, hosted by Evesham Archers. Every one of them was eager to earn series points and medals, or to test themselves against archers at the top of their game. And there were some very tight contests, but one archer had a particularly good weekend.

First she defeated Lucy Mason to take the stage 1 honours. Then it was Layla Annison who had to be satisfied with stage 2 silver. And there was little indication of what she was about to achieve from her qualification rankings. She qualified in 16th spot for stage 1 and 18th for stage 2. But once she reached the eliminations there was no stopping the Durham University archer. The bronze medals went to Pauline Burfitt and Lucy O'Sullivan. 
Photo: Stage 2: compounders James Mason, Adam Ravenscroft and James Howell. And the men's compound competitions were just as exciting. In stage 1, Meriden's Carl Richards battled to a single point victory over Simon Froggatt with Michael Kells in bronze spot. The stage 2 victor was last year's bronze medallist James Mason. He defeated 2016 silver medallist Adam Ravenscroft. James Howell took bronze. 
Photo: Stage 2: recurvers Sarah Bettles, Lizzie Warner and Sarah Smith. Johanna Meyer of Edinburgh University took first blood in the women's recurve competition, winning stage 1 gold with a 6 to 4 victory over Cleadon's Kate Dunnighan. Lizzie Warner of Kirby Muxloe Archery Club beat Evesham's Sally Gilder to bronze. Lizzie went one better in stage 2, taking silver after losing out to Nova Bowmen's Sarah Bettles. Derwent's Sarah Smith beat Oakfield’s Jaspreet Sagoo to bronze. The stage 1 recurve men's title went to Oxford archer David Timmins. He qualified in 16th spot but then hit form to earn a gold medal showdown with Thomas Nairn. The Alsager youngster shot really well but could not get the better of David. Larry Godfrey won bronze. And Ashe Morgan took the stage 2 honours. The Cheltenham sixth seed went on an impressive run to find himself facing Adam Taylor in the gold medal match. Bowmen of Walker's Alex Wise sealed the third spot with a win over Thanet's Ryan Holden. To see a video wrap of the event, go to Archery GB’s You Tube channel.

Archery NI has hosted its first indoor championships; and more than 100 entrants from all over the UK and Ireland turned up to be part of the historic shoot at the Soccer Shed in Ballyclare. It is the first since Archery NI was established last October and was UK record status, open to recurve, compound, longbow, barebow and traditional archers. Competitors took part in an 18 metre qualification, followed by head-to-heads for senior and open archers and a Portsmouth round at 20 yards for juniors. As well as present and future stars, there was a very special guest: Olympian Angela Oakley. She competed for Great Britain as Angela Goodall in the 1984 Los Angeles Games and as a field archer. She also represented Northern Ireland in the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Australia. You can find more information and all the results on the Archery NI website; www.archeryni.org.uk.
