Round Up: 2025 UK Masters (Stage 4 AGB National Tour)

​

30 Jun 2025

The outdoor season can be seen a gruelling schedule for archers with many back-to-back competitions on every weekend.  This was evident with AGB National Tour Stage 3 last weekend and Stage 4 UK Masters at the weekend there, however these opportunities are special and inspiring to everyone involved making it all worthwhile.


As ever, top athletes from across UK came together to battle to become champions and add to national tour rankings.  Of course, this is a great platform for many archers to test themselves, attempt to execute learning and progress from the training field and compete against world class level archers – not something you get to do very often!


Some very impressive results and well done to all the competitors:


  • Recurve Men

    • Joshua Phillips (Links Archers) – 7th (1268) in Qualification and ranked 6th overall – great performances from Joshua with a nail-biting match against double Olympian Patrick Huston in quarter finals on head-to-heads!

    • Cameron Radigan (Largs Archery Club) – 20th (1217) in Qualification and ranked 9th overall

    • Ross MacLeod (Balbardie Archers) –  39th (1136) in Qualification and ranked 30th overall

    • Gilbert Jamison (Balbardie Archers) – 41st (1135) in Qualification and ranked 31st

    • Callum Newlands (Reigate Priory Bowmen) – 30th (1181) in Qualification and ranked 45th 

 

  • Recurve Women

o   Kristin Ward (Ayr Archery Club) – 26th (948) in Qualification and ranked 23rd  overall

o   Kayleigh Ivanov (Balbardie Archers) – 27th (911) in Qualification and ranked 25th overall

 

  • Compound Men

    • Nathan MacQueen (Balbardie Archers) – 7th (1370) in Qualification and ranked 26th 

    • Finlay Clark (York Archers Society) – 5th (1376) in Qualification and ranked 11th 

    • Ru Barlow (Jolly Archers of H&W) – 36th (1294) in Qualification round only

    • Kevin Duncanson (Cleadon Archers) – 16th (1343) in Qualification round only

 

  • Compound Women

    • Pam Duncanson (Cleadon Archers) – 26th (1248) in Qualification round only


  • Barebow Men

    • Simon Reeves (Balbardie Archers) – 28th (891) in Qualification and final ranking

 

Ainsley Ward, Scottish National Team Manager who was in attendance shared his reflections:


‘‘Given that the UK Masters is primarily open only to archers with Master Bowman qualifications, the size of the Scottish contingent is mightily impressive. The usual Lilleshall wind presented a challenging qualification, during which many of our archers bought their A-game and finished strongly.


Despite dealing with temperatures over 30C there were some great scores logged and some impressive performances. Sunday’s H2H repechage competition was a cooler and calmer weatherwise, but not on the line, where Scottish archers all pushed their competitors hard across the field. Josh’s match with Patrick Huston had us on the edge of our (folding) seats and was the highlight of a great weekend!’’
