MORE SUCESSES IN THE WINTER LEAGUES!!
For the third year running, St. Sebastian Archers top the tables in both the DCAA and Selby leagues.
In the Derbyshire Indoor Portsmouth leagues winning both the league and the handicap league. We also came out top in the Derbyshire outdoor Frostbite league and came a very close runner up in the Frostbite handical league.
In the Selby League we did equally as well. Team A and team B winning their respective divisions of the indoor Portsmouth leagues and in the Frostbite Leagues, team A won division one while team B came an admirable fourth.
Remarkably we won six out of the eight leagues/divisions we entered. Thanks to everyone who submitted scores and well done on the results.

A brilliant turnout for St. Sebastians belated Christmas shoot. The shoot included medals, raffle and a charity collection for one of our members who is not too well at the moment with cancer. The night raised £115 which is going to St. Luke's Hospice.
Sean Copcutt had a FAB night, getting first in the shoot and club Bray 2 record, third in the handicap and then goes and draws first price in the raffle..........cries of FIX! from around the hall.
Well done Sean.
Not forgetting the damaged arrow for Jon Oldroyd......OOPS!
