Youth Festival 2024: Day 3

On Day 3, our archers shot in the Individuals event. Shooting off for each place in the ranking. The women shot first with the men to follow in the afternoon. Hannah Wells (Recurve U21), Kristin Ward (Recurve U18), Olivia Kendal (Compound Youth), Molly Joyce (Compound Youth) and Kitty Orr (Compound Youth) progressed into the repecharge rounds. The results for these are still to be published but will hopefully be on Ianseo at the end of the tournament.

After supporting the womens teams all morning, it was finally time for the mens teams to shoot. Joshua Phillips managed to battle his way through all of his matches in the Recurve U21 category and has made it into the gold medal match on the finals field on Wednesday. William Anderson also won all of his head-to-head matches meaning that he will shoot for Gold in the finals match on Tuesday afternoon in the Barebow Youth category. Luke Wheeler (Recurve U21), Shay Boyd (Recurve U21), Zac Ibrahim (Recurve U18), Cairn Boyd (Compound Youth) and Ellis White (Compound Youth) all shot in the repechage matches, shooting off for each individual place underneath medal matches. Hopefully these results will be published alongside the ladies at the end of the tournament.

Even though we had a busy day of shooting in the heat, our archers still managed to find some down time to spend with their teammates. We also managed to watch the Team GB Men’s Olympic match before our archers began shooting today on the big screen provided by the team at Lilleshall. Whilst our archers were shooting, Fluffy was off making friends with the Welsh team’s mascot!
