Blue Lion Tournament - Bournemouth

On Sunday 18th July a record turnout of 11 Archers from Sway Bowmen, including 7 Juniors, attended the the Blue Lion Tournament in Bournemouth.

Weather was hot & sunny, if a bit breezy causing a few arrows to stray .

6 Juniors & 1 Senior came away with medals. A notable performance from Caspar de Wattripont having just turned 8 attending his first ever away shoot and having only taken up archery this April. Well done to us all, another great day out! The organisers even arranged for an ice cream van to turn up in the afternoon for a welcome refreshing 99!

A dozen archers from Sway Bowmen shot at the weekend on a sunny and glorious day at Exbury Gardens for the Waterside Open Tournament and came home with a great performance from all who attended.
