The Lineup of archers during a shooting at the Wolfshead and Millennium Indoor Open Archery Competition. Cuchulainn came home with three medals and six new Irish records
The Wolfshead and Millennium Indoor Open Archery Competition took place earlier this month 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 25 metres and 60 arrows at 18 metres. 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 being set and/or broken on the day. And the club ended up setting a few of their own.
Robert Hall, in action in the Compound Men, came third, taking home a Bronze medal while Alan Convery secured 5th place. In the women’s compound, Amy McLoughlin came third, taking home a bronze medal and Adria Quinn came fifth.
Neil Keeble came 1st in the Men's Barebow, taking home the Gold medal and two Irish Records, one for his 30 arrow score at 25 metres and the other for his 60 arrow score at 25 metre. A superb achievement, that will be tough to match by any archer.
Rose Anne O'Donnell, shooting in two age categories higher than her own, came 4th in the Senior Women’s Barebow, with a score that broke four sets of Irish Records.
The records that fell were the 25 meters x30 arrows in the Junior Lady's Barebow, the 25metere x30 arrows in the Cadet Lady's Barebow, the 25meters x60 arrows in Junior Lady's Barebow and finally the 25meters x60 arrows in the Cadet Lady's Barebow. Another astonishing showing from a local archer.
This was the final competition in the Indoor Season - and what a competition it was for CúChulainn members who really exceled beyond expectations.
They finished the event with one Gold medal, two Bronze medals and a total of six Irish Records. All in the club are are now looking forward to the outdoor Season, and the challenges it brings. Could more Irish medals and record be on the way in the second half of the year?
