DWAA vs Hampshire inter-county match for 2018 was held today as part of the Andover WA 1440. Teams of 4 Recurve and 4 Compound would be formed by selecting the best scoring archers in each discipline. Many archers were unable to cope with the horrible weather conditions with torrential rain and high winds with accompanying gusts of over 40 mph so by the end of the day, the number of competitors was much reduced from original entry of nearly 200. However, both DWAA and Hampshire still had enough brave and hardy archers to fill the Recurve and Compound teams!
The match resulted in a win for Hampshire by a score of 9683 to 9004.
The Hampshire Archers who formed the team were:
Rachel van Besouw 1075
Hannah Mitchell 1025
Julian Piper 1172
James Towle 1123
Vicky Loader 1315
Ruth Watson 1307
Lee Grace 1346
Darren Upfield 1320
Other Hampshire squad members who took part:
Symon Davis
Tim Campbell
Gina Whitlock

I have had numerous record claims since taking over and it has become clear that some people aren't too sure about how to claim records. Here are some pointers,
- Records need to be claimed within 6 months of the shoot taking place
- More than 1 record can be taken in a single day for example for any WA1440 you could claim 7 records. The round it's self, the long metric, short metric and all four individual distances.
- On Imperial distances (York, Hereford, Bristol's) you can also claim for the corresponding national round
- When claiming please include the results sheet, the claim form and a picture of the applicable score sheet. This may be done via email or Postal. The scoresheet is very helpful should any tie break happen.
- Tie breaks will be decided as follows
(i) Archery GB Imperial Rounds.
Award Based On 1st Tie Break 2nd Tie Break
Score Hits Golds
Hits Score Golds
Golds Score Hits
(ii) Archery GB Metric Rounds
Award Based On 1st Tie Break 2nd Tie Break
Score Tens (inc X's) X's

We have had to make a change to the arrangements for this year's Dorset & Wilts v Hampshire Inter-County match. Because the DWAA Double WA 70/50 at Salisbury on 5th August is not record status, the decision has been taken to hold the match as part of the Andover WA 1440 on Sunday 29th July. There will be mixed gender teams of 4, compound and recurve. Selection will be on the basis of the top 4 scoring archers in each discipline. Apologies for the very late notice. Hopefully next year we can manage to arrange this match much earlier!
