Nine of our junior archers took part in this year’s Talisman Junior Tournament and for Bethany Rosier, Charlotte Williams and Tommy Smith it was their first taste of competition. Andover Archers have a fine record of success at the Talisman and 2018 was definitely not an exception!
Gold Medals and trophies were won by Sophie Meyrick (under 16 Compound) and Abi Creese (under 12 recurve).
Silver Medals went to Charlotte Williams (under 16 recurve), Thomas Oak (under 14 recurve), Zach Burton (under 14 compound) and Tommy Smith (under 10 recurve).
Bronze Medals for Bethany Rosier (under 16 compound) and Paul Williams (under 16 recurve).
Andover Archers also took Gold in both the team events! Our winning recurve team comprised Paul Williams, Charlotte Williams and Thomas Oak whilst our successful compound team was made up of Sophie Meyrick, Bethany Rosier and Zach Burton.
Special mention for Louie Brown who persevered to complete the shoot despite injuring his finger during the second session!
All of the young archers were a credit to their club and to their families and we are justifiably proud of them!
