EVESHAM Archery Club's junior members were in fine form when they travelled to Swindon for the Junior National Championships.

Shooting a Bristol five round, Matthew Haines, aged eight, recorded 1052 and was first compound bow archer in the under-nine section.

In the under-16 age group Olympic bow archer Helen Gath received a black rose medal for a Bristol three score over 900, while Andrew Crowther entered a 10-32 Bristol two to claim a blue rose. His score also gave him a place in the West Midlands team which finished sixth in the regional competition.

In the under-14 division, Tim Haines notched up a good 782 to just miss out on the white rose.

Andrew has also recently been presented with white, blue and red under-18 Association for Archery in Schools certificates, while Helen Gath has white, blue and red under-15 awards.

Tim took red under-15 and white and blue to under-18 level, with Matthew achieving white and blue under-12.
