At the end of September, I represented East Of Scotland Archery - "The Eastern Area" in the Archery GB National County Championship for the first time. I am immensely proud of this weekend, both for myself and for our county!
Day 1: I finished 10th in the ranking round and then our Barebow Women’s Team shot well through to the quarter finals. It was my first time shooting in a team with Katherine Lamont and Kayleigh Ivanov but they were great fun all day!
Day 2: I was LOCKED IN for the ranking round, shooting a Personal Best score to finish in 6th position. The afternoon saw the Mixed Team matches, and although I was hoping to get through to the semi-finals with William Anderson, our ends against Leicestershire were only a couple points behind when we lost 6-2.
I’ve really enjoyed the team competitions this summer. There’s nothing like that post-competition buzz, with a mix of pride and adrenaline after giving it everything with your team.
The competition marked the end of the outdoor season, which was quite bittersweet as I absolutely love outdoors.
I managed to get 5 scores out of the required 6 to achieve the Master Bowman ranking for this season, though my last score was a Grand Master Bowman score and a new Scottish Record, meaning I am very excited to see what the indoor season and the next outdoor one have in store for me!
