Well done to everyone shooting in the Senior inter Counties shoot in Hampshire. A little overcast to start, then blazing sun, cloud and boy was that wind gusty and tricky? At lease it stayed dry all day. Special thanks to those that were asked to fill in last minute and well done to those that had a rotten weekend and build up to the day but still shot and finished the day with a smile. Some real personal achievements there. Everyone did themselves proud under the conditions and it was great to see some good results. Talking of which, We came 4th in both the Recurve and the Compound and came 3rd overall with the combined scores (however nothing was awarded for the combined scores) Great achievement and great shooting by everyone

However well done to Grant Morris-Soper (Compound – Rivernook Bowmen) for achieving his 3rd MB score, well done to Simon Buchanan and Richard White (Both Recurve form Chessington Bowmen) for shooting Seasons bests, well done to Martin Creasey for shooting well over his PB and big Congratulations to Louise Coleville who was awarded a “whopping” trophy for highest Recurve score on the day.

Really well done to everyone, and watch this page for news of the reciprocal friendly with Kent next year. I have also talked to various Team Managers concerning 2 and 3 way inter County friendlies. Any news then I will update the website accordingly.

Junior Intercounties 15th August 2010

Dear team,

I would like to thank-you all for attending the shoot on the 15th August and to say well done, I think you all did extremely well considering the very windy conditions on the day.
Please keep an eye on the Surrey web page as we are hoping to hold an indoor friendly with Kent in November or December.
Regards

Surrey v Kent – Seniors

What a fantastic showing at the Kent vs Surrey Inter County friendly on Sunday 1st August. After an adjustment of the scores for the Juniors, Kent beat Surrey 3-2. I think, however, we can all be very proud of the determination, good humour, professional attitude and downright great sportsmanship the Surrey team all showed. I was nervous as this was a first for me as team Manager but I was very proud at how everyone all rallied round, made my job quite easy on the day and everyone supported each other throughout the shoot. It was a real pleasure and was noted by many people. The weather was good, a bit of a downpour for a few minutes in the morning, but a great day none the less. There was a paying BBQ for lunch and the bar was open for refreshments and tea and coffee.

I am not aware of everyone’s achievements on the day, but those brought to my attention were fantastic. It was a shame that it wasn’t record status as there were some great scores that could have been used. However we are already organising a reciprocal for next year and we are planning a record status.

Justin Phillips (Reigate Priory - Compound) shot a GMB score, amazing shooting and constant standard from him so all the best for his next few comps. Well done to Jane Lawrence-Tuck (Rivernook - Compound) for shooting just under an MB score and with a good PB of over 25 points. Lee Beresford (Rivernook - Recurve) put in a huge PB of over 86 points and his 2nd Bowman score. Mike Hayward (Guildford - Recurve) put in a whopping score of 1021 and again a PB. Sabina Browne (Royal Richmond - Longbow) put in her 1st Bowman score and as 80 yds is not her forte, she did really well. Steve Patterson (Royal Richmond – Longbow) hadn’t shot many York’s but came away with a PB and a Bowman score. Finally many congratulations to Karen Tippins (CMO - Barebow) who put in a Ladies County Record.

For many of the team, this was their first selection, and I genuinely hope that it will take off from here and we'll shoot together again. It has been my privilege to be amongst you and to shoot alongside you.

Many thanks to James Taylor for deputising for me on the day and thanks to Jane Lawrence-Tuck for helping out with all in sundry.

Excellent shooting everyone.
