Competitions

Again Nethermoss Archers were well represented at the Orrell (& Wigan) Archers annual Portsmouth Round, held at the spacious indoor venue of Robin Park Sports Centre Wigan. All thirteen of our attending Archers enjoyed the shoot, and many walked away with trophies & medals pushing the great name of Nethermoss to the fore.

Tony Hoe won the veteran’s trophy for the second year in succession even though he was shooting with an un-tuned bow which he set up only a couple of days earlier. At the other end of the scale, Jack Grogan won the Junior recurve trophy for the third year in succession.

Queen of the Longbows Tracey Scott was not shooting up to her normally unbeatable standards, but still managed to win second position in the Ladies Longbow category, missing out on the first position by a very narrow margin.

Melanie Hoe and Kirsty Robb representing the Lady Compound category also had a successful day with Mel winning second place medal, and Kirsty winning the third place medal. Unfortunately, we do not have the strength in depth to field a strong Male Compound team.

The final award to be presented was the recurve team trophy, and it was Nethermoss who were called to the front to collect prize for the second year running. The team consisted of Tony Hoe, Shuan McClure, Dave Ball, and Jack Grogan.
 
Not a bad start to the competition year.
