Match against Cheltenham Archers - 7th March 2010
A great morning with a 16 a-side match against our friends from Cheltenham Archers resulted in a 45 to 11
points win for Deer Park!
The match had 3 stages, the first was a 2 dozen teams of 4 competition with each
club being represented by Gents, Ladies, Junior Gents and Junior Ladies. This produced 3 wins with our Junior Ladies being
just edged out.
The next stage was a series of pairs matches, again over 2 dozen arrows, the pairs being decided
on the ranked scores from the team competition. This produced a resounding 8 wins for Deer Park, although many of the matches
were close.
The final phase were the 12 individual Head-to-Head matches. This resulted in 11 wins, one draw and
4 defeats but again many of the matches were close. All rounds were using a Portsmouth face, with 3 spots being used for compounds.
Both clubs have agreed to run a number of similar events next winter.
Earlier this year Cheltenham Juniors
recorded a victory over our juniors, so honours have finished even!

Edward strikes gold at Droitwich Double
Worcester!
Ed doing
his first Double Worcester recorded scores of 273 and 281 (out of 300) to win his first indoor trophy. Ed is being coached

County Junior Championships
Thank you to all those members that supported the event which
was certainly a success. Top club performances were made by Amber, who registered a huge improvement, to James who shooting
his first Compound competition was just 2 points off a National record and also achieved his 6 gold end! Also to Tom who also
registered an excellent score shooting recurve. Of the 70 entries Deer Park had 31, with 5 juniors, Aaron (who also got a
Rose Award), Matthew, Alex, Callum and Joe winning County titles. Credit must go to Cheltenham archers Juniors who not only
turned out in numbers but recorded some good scores and won a number of titles. Alex and Callum jointly won the H2H Compound
and Joe Wilmott finished 3rd in the recurve (behind two Great Britain Archers). As well as all the club members
helping with the field layout, catering etc, can I record a personal thank you to Steph who did all of the preparation work
and organized the presentation and scores on the day.

Gloucestershire finished behind Devon & Cornwall
and Dorset & Wiltshire in this years intercounties. However there was an outstanding individual performance from one of

the 300 barrier.

Deer Park Archers Spring Record Status Portsmouth - 8th March
My thanks go to all the Club members who helped on the day and particularly to Marnie, Nick, Lynn, Janet and
Vanessa with a special mention for Steph who ran the day as I was unable to attend. Steph also asked to mention
the excellent support that the 3 judges provided on the day, Martyn, Malcolm and Ken.
The raffle raised nearly £80 which will be donated to
Nick Green's efforts to support 'Leukemia in Children' as part of the money he is raising by running the London Marathon!
We saw some excellent performances from some of our visitors, highlights of which included Richard Powell's Double
Portsmouth Longbow score of 1046 which beat the Current British Record by 2 points, however due to a GNAS ruling it
will not be ratified as the tournament was only registered as a single Portsmouth! Kevin Weller from Wales Archery won the
Gents compouind with 571, and Cheltenham made it a recurve double with Jackie Bowser 551 and Ashe Morgan 572 winning their
classes.
The 30 Deer Park members put in some excellent performances and their were many personal bests, highlights of which were
Alex Fraser with 571 which would have tied for first in the mens competition, Becci putting in another solid score in the
under 14's recurve and an excellent score of 396 for 11 year old Molly Hobbs doing her first competition! From the adults
there was excellent performances from Marnie Shaw in just her second competition recording 491 in the Ladies recurve and Laurence
Gregory with 557 ion the Gents recurve. Ian Pearce broke Nick's County record in the gents Longbow.

The best unrewarded
performance was an impressive 448 recorded by James Doolan, shooting his first competition and finishing second in the u18
Recurve. Alex, who has had his new bow for just over a week, turned in an excellent 554 in the gents u18 compound,
beaten by Great Britain archer Jake Bunce. I have to say that I was proud of all our juniors and they were all a credit to
the club and our sport, and this was commented on by both the judges and the organizers. So to all those already mentioned
and also Amber, Kieran, Tom and Matt, a very well done.
The senior recurves
saw all 7 of the 9 doing their first competitions, all performed well but the
top performances came from Laurence Gregory recording 552, finishing 5th, Edward Paddy with 527 finishing 14th
and in the ladies Jo Chamberlain was our best finisher and was placed 5th with 431. In the Gents Compound Lawrence
Devenish finished 5th, Dan Gill 7th and Karl Schneider 9th.
There was a surprise
in the Gents Longbow with Roger getting a personal best , scoring 422 and just piping Nick (412) to the title and Ian, the
competition favorite finishing in 4th.
Thanks go to the
organizers for a great event, special thanks go to Andy, Vanessa and Steph for supporting our archers throughout the day.
There was a separate
raffle to raise money for a Trust Fund, the prize was an Archery Teddy, complete with bow, quiver, arrows etc and to complete
the day Mary won it!
