Eastern Area Shirt - available to Eastern Area Team and Squad Members
In the past we have had quite a success at various events including at the 2015 Inter County event The Eastern Area Men's Recurve Team won Gold at the National County Team Championships. This annual Mid Summer event is run at Lilleshall by the National Tournament Committee and attracts County teams from all over the UK. The trio of Vladimir Hurban, Matt Nowicki and Gareth Fleming came first in the Qualifying 720 and then won through to Gold in the Head to Heads. Their team placing of 3rd in the Sunday's 1440 round was enough to give them the overall win for the weekend. The Archery GB news story - Full Results can be found here
