Here is a document describing the qualifying criteria for the upcoming youth commonwealth games. If you have any juniors that meet the criteria, please feel free to contact the necessary people to advance the process. It would be a real boost for your club and the CAA if there was a junior archer in the games from our area.

I am currently looking for archers to join the CAA squad so that I can put together a team for two competitions during the 2014 outdoor season and beyond. The dates for these two competitions  are the 3rd August (team match against Bedfordshire) and the 23rd August (team match against Lincolnshire).

If you are interested in being a member of the CAA squad please send me the results of any competitions you have taken part in over the past year; sooner rather than later please. These scores will be used in order to select the team that will represent Cambridgeshire in the competitions mentioned above. A large number of Cambridgeshire archers have retired from archery this year so we have a real need to build up our squad again. If you know of any other archers that are shooting 1st class or above please direct them towards me.

If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

Regards

Sean

On Sunday  16th February 2014, 10 of Cambridgeshire's longbow archers travelled to Essex to compete in the annual double Portsmouth inter-counties competition. The venue for the competition was Shenfield High school, Brentwood which is the indoor venue for Burnwood Archers. 

The Judge in charge was Alan Harding; brought in to stop the traditional banter from escalating into a war!

The first dozen arrows looked very promising for Cambridgeshire, with Essex unable to find the centre, but once the archers settled down scores evened out. By the end of the first Portsmouth round  Essex had the lead.

After a short break the second Portsmouth started and we all knew that we needed to score an extra 2 points per arrow to catch up. At the end of the second session we didn't manage to close the gap.

The final combined scores were: Essex 8268  Cambridgeshire 7794

Congratulations to James Bridges (Cambridgeshire) who, on his team début, shot an excellent score of 490 and 483. This was done  using a longbow that he had made the week before!  Congratulations also to Shaun Jacobs who scored a personal best of 444.

Thank you to all the archers who took part and to Essex for hosting the match and for providing the after match refreshments. Congratulations to Essex and we look forward to hosting the match early next year.
