Cuchulainn Archers compete in Dublin

THE WOLFSHEAD and Millennium Indoor

Open Archery Competition took place on Saturday in the National Indoor Arena, Dublin.

Competing for CúChulainn Archers were Adria Quinn, Amy McLoughlin, Alan Convery, Robert Hall, Neil Keeble and RoseAnne O’Donnell.

The competition consisted of 60 arrows at 25metres and 60 arrows at 18metres. There was quite an air of excitement at it as this combination of distances is rarely shot, so there was a possibility of Irish Records to be set and/ or broken on the day, and the club took some home!

Robert Hall, Compound Men came third, taking home a Bronze medal, with Alan Convery taking 5th place.

In Compound Women, Amy McLoughlin came third, taking home a Bronze medal with Adria Quinn taking 5th place.

Neil Keeble came 1st in Men’s Barebow taking home the Gold medal and two Irish Records, one for his 30 arrow score at 25metres and the other for his 60 arrow score at 25 metres. Congratulations, Neil, well done!

RoseAnne

O’Donnell, shooting two age categories higher than her own, came 4th in Senior Women Barebow, with a score that broke four sets of Irish Records:25m x 30 arrows in Junior Lady’s Barebow, 25m x 30 arrows in Cadet Lady’s Barebow and 25m x 60 arrows in Junior Lady’s Barebow and 25m x 60 arrows in Cadet Lady’s Barebow! Congratulations to RoseAnne and well done!

This was the final competition in the Indoor Season - and what a competition it was for CúChulainn members with one Gold medal, two Bronze medals and a total of 6 Irish Records! All archers are now looking forward to the Outdoor Season, and the challenges it brings!
