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!
Congratulations to the group of HAA Junior Archers who took part in a three-way inter-county match at Supermarine on Sunday 22nd July against Oxford and Dorset & Wilts. There was little wind but it was a blisteringly hot day which made shooting very hard work. The match resulted in a win for the team from Oxford with Hampshire in second place just 100 points behind. The four highest scores from each county formed the teams and for Hampshire it was Saskia Meyrick, Abi Creese, Katy Westwood and Charlotte Williams. The others in the HAA squad were Paul Williams and Kerry Stringer.
HAMPSHIRE JUNIOR COUNTY RANKINGS AS AT 1ST JULY 2018
Here is the first set of HAA Junior County Rankings as at 1st July 2018. Based on your best 3 handicap scores. For those who have shot less than 3 rounds, a handicap score of 100 has been added for each missing score. This is the same system as used by Archery GB to calculate National Rankings but they are only published once a year in October. Hopefully, the HAA rankings will be updated monthly.
