NAC performed very well in the County Indoor Championships on Sunday 11th March at Rothwell. David Quemby received a silver in the Gents Compound with a score of 575, just two points behind Martin Ross who took gold. David went on to get a gold however in the double round with a score of 1136. Susan Corless won a gold for the ladies double recurve with a score of 1052, and Paul Hyde took a bronze in the gents recurve with a score of 1120. Mick Lovell also shot but despite scoring well, missed out on the metal. New club records were set and these will be included in the next records update later this month. Well done and thanks for representing NAC so well.
