Outdoors 2016

Outdoor champs 2016 took place at Oxford Archers, run by OUCofA. Strong winds hampered shooting throughout, heavy rain set in during the last distance. Line tents were green and identical.

Birmingham added to their impressive trophy hall from indoor season by taking the Novice Trophy whilst Warwick took the Rolls-Royce Shield for experienced teams.  The gold medallists in each category are shown below.

At the AGM the proposal to change the team format was not passed.

Adam Peers was re-elected as League Organiser.

Often voted as Britain’s two most picturesque cities, Derby and Birmingham provided the settings for the final leg matches of the year. The winning team at each leg broke 2280 bringing the total of teams to achieve the feat this season up to three! The results leave Warwick and Birmingham tied on points at the top of the league with Loughborough mathematically still in the hunt, but out of contention for all practical purposes. Birmingham’s Novices are still top the table and but will have to wait for the Champs to be confirmed as champions as Loughborough Novices, like the experienced team, are also mathematically still in contention.
