Several Wexford people picked up awards at the recent IFAF Archery Indoor Nationals…
This competition, one of the most important of the Indoor Season, was hosted by Na Laoch Dall in the SETU West Campus in Carriganore, Co. Waterford, one of the best indoor venues in all of Ireland.
Deirdre Rogers of the CúChulainn Archery club in Wexford reports that their club did well in the competition with 3 @ first place finishes, 1 @ second place, 3 @ third places and 1 @ 4th place. The standard was very high in all categories, especially in Senior Male Compound Unlimited with only 8 points separating the first 7 archers.

Compound Senior Male, Gold medal – Fiachra Judge

Peter Gilmore, who had already won a Gold medal, was called forward to receive his various Irish Field Records, being presented with 7 Records which he had broken over the previous year. Both Neil Keeble and Éamonn Rogers were presented with their Gold Gain pins on Saturday too.
All returned home with nothing but praise for Na Laoch Dall for a great day’s competition in what all agreed was a great venue.
