Last month Archery NZ sent a ‘posse’ of archers to compete in the World Archery Oceania Championship being held in Adelaide. Held at the Ashton Oval in the Adelaide Hills, run by Archery South Australia on behalf of Archery Australia, archers from the Solomon Islands, Fiji, New Caledonia, Australia, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand were competing.
Many of our archers experienced golden success, the results are listed below.
Sincere thanks must go to Lexie Matheson, Team Manager, and Robbie Anderson and Agata Kaluzna as the Team Coaches. The team travelled with a loyal group of family members that provided side-line support and more warm clothing.
Many of the archers also competed in the South Australian Grand Prix held at the same venue in the middle of the WAO Tournament.
