After an ultra-tense jaw dropping shoot out Mark O’Halloran emerged as the victor in the first hotly contended Brixham Archers Winter League. Will Wetherall came a very close second and John Read took the bronze medal after losing to Will on count backs with 10s (9&9) and then 9s (12&11). Chris was disappointed not to receive one of the nice medals particularly has he had bought them. Whilst Mark was happy to take away the glass trophy he himself had selected to suit his home décor.

The semi-final was keenly contested with scores recorded as follows

Mark O’Halloran              229

Paul Allan                            221

Chris Boulton                     219

Brian Le Badge                  216

Sharon Hill                          214

Kane Kennedy                   209

The finals followed with Jerry and Paul disappointingly pulling out due to ‘equipment failure!’

Mark O’Halloran              228

John Read                           223

Will Wetherall                    223

Chris Boulton                     215

Jerry Handyside                retired

Paul Allan                            retired

Sharon and Brian were pleased with their achievements in reaching the finals whilst Kane must surely be kicking himself having elected to shoot compound rather than longbow. After the finals in a display of extreme stamina Mark and Chris then went on to shoot a St George just for fun.
