Jeebus! UL Archery has just survived the most intense nine days of archery that
any team from UL has ever seen. With four competitions over nine days, ranging
from Carlow to Galway, National and Collegial, podium finishes at every shoot,
a National Junior Compound Champion and new Personal Bests being shot at every
shoot, it has been intense to say the least, not to mention the Shoot for Haiti
fundraiser held on the lawns of the White House in between competitions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Carlow's InterVarsity, held on February 27th, saw a team of 8 archers bring
home 7 medals, our five top archers brought home 3rd place team, Craig Tyner
brought home 2nd place in the Advanced Barebow category, and Phil Ryan took 1st
place in the Advanced Recurve category with a new Personal Best score of 529
(from a possible 600). The following day saw 4 of our best shooters take on
Irelands' senior archers at the Dolmen Archer's shoot and succeed in bringing
home 1st and 2nd place medals for Rory Thornburgh and Steffan Ashe in the Over
550 Category.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The
following week was the Big Weekend in Irish Archery. March 6th and 7th saw the
GMIT InterVarsity and the Irish Nationals being shot back to back. With a
Record Team score of 2500 for this season, and only 25 points short of the Club
record score shot back in 2002, UL Archery took 3rd place by the narrowest of
margins. With an equal score as the UCD team the decision for 2nd place went to
the number of tens shot by each team - UL with 62 and UCD with 63. Chris Noonan
brought home 1st place in the Beginner Recurve section with a score of 485, an
amazing feat for his first competition as a recurve shooter. Craig Tyner can
always be counted on for a podium finish in his category and didn't disappoint
on this occasion with a 2nd place score to bring our medal tally up to 7 on the
day. In total, out of 12 shooters who competed on the day, 7 new Personal Bests
were set. With our archers in top form and with a hunger for more medals they
set out for the Irish Nationals on Sunday March 7th. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Archery, with nine competitors, was one of the largest teams competing at the
Irish Nationals. The competition format was a 60 arrow qualifier in the morning
followed by 12 arrow Head2Head shoot offs. With a new Personal Best of 529,
Steffan Ashe qualified first in his category with Phil Ryan hot on his tail in
second place. Also competing on the day was Rory Thornburgh, Cian O'Sullivan,
Dave Cunningham, Michael Curtin, Alan Jeffs, Donna McKenny, and Niall Boland.
As the Head2Heads got underway the atmosphere began to get tense. Donna McKenny
put up an amazing fight and made it to the quarter finals only to be knocked
out by Irelands #2 female shooter, Maeve Reidy. Steffan Ashe and Phil Ryan made
it to the Junior Recurve Semi Finals without suffering any casualties but the
pressure of the Head2Head format became too much and unfortunately Steffan lost
his match by a narrow margin and was pushed into the Bronze Match shoot off,
which he won with ease. Phil Ryan however was still shooting up a storm and
made it to the Finals, securing us a second place finish for UL Archery; but
the icing on the cake came from Niall Boland, the 2010 National Junior Compound
Champion. With new Personal Best scores being shot at every competition he
enters, Niall is becoming the one to watch in Junior Compound in Ireland. Along
with Craig, the 2010 National Barebow Champion, UL is becoming one of the
strongest archery clubs in Ireland at the moment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>In between
both of these hectic weekends UL Archery still found the time to set up a Shoot
for Haiti fundraiser with an outdoor range on the lawns of the White House.
With shooting demonstrations going on all afternoon and a 'Have a Go' stand set
up for members of the public to try their hand at some shooting it was
wonderful stress relief and some fun for all involved. We would like to thank
Jurys Inn for sponsoring the 'Have a Go' prize of 2 nights B&B in any Jurys
Inn. This prize was for the highest score from 3 arrows by a member of the
public and went to Aiden Casey with a score of 28 from a possible 30. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Nine days,
four competitions, 19 medals, 12 Personal Best scores, another National
Champion for UL Archery, a fundraiser and Steffan Ashe being scouted for the
National Squad after his phenomenal shooting at the Irish Nationals, and the
Irish Student Archery Association InterVarsity Finals being held here in UL on
the 10th of April, the question on every UL Archer's lips is 'Will we set a new
team record score, will we bring home a podium finish in the ISAA Leagues, and
is our trophy cabinet big enough for all these medals and plaques?'.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
