Posted on by

Wilford Bowmen fielded a large team for the Notts League and Oregon shoot held at Southwell by Belvoir Archers.

Some notable successes:

Sallie Kirk won the Bath and West horn and also won the Oregon Cup for 1st Lady.

Joyce Kay pulled out all the stops, shot a personal Best and won a Sharp Goblet.

Steve Attwood made the Oregon team yet again.

The junior team of Mimi, Henry and Toby Tien shot extremely well and are still in 1st place for the Junior Team.  This was Toby’s first shoot straight after his beginners course and he shot a brilliant 617.

Very Well done to All.

Team Wilford at the 2nd Town and Gown challenge.

Team Wilford at the 2nd Town and Gown challengeTown and Gown 2013 048.

Wilford’s team at the second Town and Gown challenge comprised Emma Thomason, Mike Thomason, Robert Duda, Mark Cherry and Steve Attwood, supported by Andy Kay as Judge and Terry Holden.
The format was changed slightly from last year, which made it more enjoyable all round. We all shot well and credit is due to Robert and Mark as it was their first competition since starting archery just last August. The result was closer than last year, but due to the strength of the their team the University came out on top (3434 against 3282), which was just enough to tip the overall result for the Town and Gown Challenge in favour of the University.

Wilford Bowmen – windy success

Posted on by

Mike Thomason (compound) and Steve Attwood (recurve) won their respective categories at the popular Pie and Peas shoot hosted by Bassetlaw Bowmen yesterday. Conditions were difficult with very strong winds, which eventually lead to the shoot being abandoned for safety reasons after two dozen arrows had been shot. As usual, Bassetlaw Bowmen did a wonderful job.
