On Sunday Essex & Suffolk travelled to Andover to compete in a mixed team event.
The teams were:
Michael Judd & Laila Al-Minyawi (Recurve)
Tony Gedalovitch & Liz Miles (Barebow)
Phill Dunn & Deb Horn (Compound)
Hari Shukla & Katie Bowden (Under 18's Recurve)
The weather was extremely warm, there was a few nerves but the shooting throughout was incredible. They all shot a 720 and head to heads with a couple of archers never having experienced head to heads before let alone shoot offs. Everyone managed to keep calm and dealt with everything as it come very well. The results were huge including PB's for Liz and Laila for their first outdoor competition for county and the following medals received:
Liz & Tony - Barebow Silver
Katie & Hari - Under 18's Recurve Silver
Deb & Phill - Compound Bronze
Michael & Laila got into their bronze match but just missed out on a bronze medal by minimal points however put in a very strong performance
On a personal note well done to all of you, I am extremely proud of how you represented your county and thank you for making the journey to do it
