The Irish Academy of Archery hosted its first Youth and Cadet shoot on Sat 16 February.

This shoot was attended by members of Summerhill, Blackheath, Greenhills and Liffey Archers.  This being the inaugural shoot places were limited and there was near full attendance with nineteen of twenty four archers attending.

There were 3 different categories of 7m (120cm), 10m (60cm) and 15 m (60cm), with a shortened shoot of 36 arrows and a hotshot competition taking place. All bar 3 archers were in the youth category, with the others being cadets.

All archers enjoyed themselves greatly and the future looks bright for Irish Archery with the young talent on show on the day.

The 7m Winners were Ellie Flavin (296), Adam O’Driscoll (249) & Shane Russell (219).

The 10m (60cm) Winners were Linda Russell (285), Darragh Mullally (279), Cian Flavin (275) & David Bradford (258).

The 15m (60cm) Winners were Megan Bryer (320), Sorcha Jordan (300), Rachel Foley (294) & Ciaran Malone (265).

The 7m Hotshot was won by Cian Flavin, and the 15m Hotshot was won by Rachel Foley.

 

Thanks have to be given to all the archers, their parents, and clubs who made this a real community effort, and to Summerhill Archery Club who allowed their venue and equipment to be used by the Irish Academy of Archery, and who provided excellent refreshments on the day.
