Our annual match against Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire was a little unusual this year, as it became a postal shoot with each county assembling in their own area to shoot a Short Metric round.
It turned out to be a glorious afternoon weather-wise and we fielded teams in recurve, compound, longbow, barebow and juniors.
After the shoot, team sizes were adjusted down to the lowest number of archers in any discipline, which in the case of longbows became one archer.
Overall Bedfordshire came first with a total score of 8308, followed by Northamptonshire on 7384 and Buckinghamshire on 7134. We came second in recurve, compound and barebow and third in longbow and juniors. Junior scores were not adjusted for age groups or bow styles.
The team comprised archers from Silver Arrow, Whiteleaf, Shenley, Little Abbey and South Bucks and were as follows:
Recrurve: Sylwia Radomska, Julie Morling, Kevin Jones, Paul Davies, Masroor Ahmed, Glyn West
Compound: Carol Greenhalgh, Brenda Godfrey, Marc Bibby, Simon Gunnell
Barebow: Phyll Griffiths, Ceri Morgan, Garry Morgan, Kalhan Jogireddy
Longbow: Lesley Herriott, Paul Field, Pete Swann
Juniors: Yashasvi Yellapragada, Syeeda Aaisha Masroor
Thanks to everyone who took part.
Onwards and upwards for next year!
