SAINT Kingsmark Bowmen’s sixth FITA Star on Sunday 6th September 2015 started and ended with lots of brilliant sunshine and this year incorporated the Gwent County and Open Championships.

In the FITA Star Gents Recurve Huw Jones went home with a bronze medal and Ladies Longbow Nicola Phillips went home with a silver medal.

In the Gwent Championships, Nicola Philips (Ladies Longbow) took home a gold medal, Huw Jones (Gents Recurve) took home a silver medal and Richard Ridler (Gents Compound) took home a silver medal.

Lady Paramount Pippa Briton presented Andy Tan from Llantarnam Archery Club with the Lady Paramount’s prize for getting the closest score to 1,000.

The competition would not take place if it weren’t for the efforts of the club members. St Kingsmark Bowmen offer a big thank you to everyone who helped out in any way at all from making the delicious cakes to laying out the field on the Saturday.

The group would also like to thank the archers who attended the shoot and hope that everybody had a good day. Their thanks also go to Chepstow Athletic Club, Pembroke Road Primary School, Llantarnam Archery Club and City of Newport Archers for their support as without it the tournament could not go ahead.
