I hope all archers have recovered from the heat!!! Thank you so much for sticking it out. We were all wilting by the end!

I attach the results of the match; these scores will be confirmed by the Essex team manager as they were taken from the score sheets which of course will be checked.

Sussex v Essex Results

As you can see it was evens stevens – one overall win for Sussex and one for Essex.

Hopefully we will have a return match next year.

If you have not returned the questionnaire can you let me have it sometime – we are trying to make the county matches as attractive as we can, and any input you may have will help in this process.

We put some good scores in yesterday, so keep it up – and the next match will be the Intercounties in September.

Best wishes

Brian Temple (Barebow) pins the Flag down

A fine day in Angmering greeted the 18 archers entered for the County Clout. This was a one-way clout with Tassel status (the Clout equivalent of the Rose awards) and a double round was shot with 2 gents clouts, one ladies and one junior.

Joshua Britton, the only junior shooting his distance, on his first clout shot a very creditable 118 for the double round and earned himself a tassel. Emily Cobden, a junior shooting barebow for the Gents senior round scored 6 which must be a record of some sort!

The Gents recurve winner was Jon Stafford with 154; the barebow winner was Brian Temple with 171 and longbow winner was Graham Brown with 42.

Four people claimed the tassel awards:
Graham Stevens – Black
Andrew Holdsworth – Black
Joshua Britton – White
Kevin Doswell – White

Congratulations to all!

This was a first time for many and the chief judge, Mark Davis, gave clear instructions to all on how to determine and organise the arrow scores. A recent ruling to ensure no quivers were taken into the scoring circle was also enforced.

This was a very relaxed shoot with tea and biscuits being served at the end by Kate O’Brien of Plumpton Bowmen.

The Lady Paramount was Liz Bowyer who presented the awards as well as winning the ladies recurve with a double round score of 199.

A big thanks to Rod for organising the Tournament and enabling a last minute change of venue and to the judges Mark Davis and Roger McMullan.

The County had purchased strings, flags and poles for this event. These are available for use by any Club wishing to hold a Clout shoot of their own.

County Records

As you know Terry Maskell stepped down as Records Officer at the AGM in January after many years service. As no-one was elected to replace him, Terry kindly offered to continue for a short period until a replacement was found.

However, no-one has come forward and Terry has decided to finally step down with effect from the 31st May.

This means that there is no-one to act as Records Officer for the County which means no County Records will be maintained unless someone comes forward to take it on.

County Rankings

The County Team Selection procedures were changed last year to include selection based on the Rankings which meant they needed to be maintained. Terry also did this job as well.

Bob Darling has kindly offered to maintain the Rankings list which will be updated monthly on this website.

Would all archers therefore send their scores to him from now on to SCAA Rankings.
