Competitions Update

Published: 1st December 2011

The first two BUTTS Legs of the year have been and gone, with Birmingham competing at Loughborough University on 19th November and Warwick University a week later.

Our novice team is off to an excellent start, with the second highest score at the first leg (1890, just 5 points below Cambridge’s winning score) and finishing first at the second leg, with a fantastic score of 1919. At both legs, the novice team was made up of Allan West, Lewis Clark, Eloise Cornish, and Joe Ingledew, who also picked up five individual medals between them across the two legs. Birmingham currently sits at the top of the novice table.

The experienced team have got off to a slower start, with their scores of 2149 and 2150 putting them ahead of only Derby and Nottingham Trent’s teams. The experienced team comprised Jack Bryant, Mickie Green, and Steven Johnson at both legs, as well as Sarah Russell at Loughborough, and Tom Sherwood at Warwick. Experienced individual medals have been won by Mickie Green (Ladies Recurve bronze at Loughborough), Jos Sarsby (Barebow silver at Warwick), and Hannah Lake (Longbow gold at Warwick).

Full results can be found, as always, on the BUTTS League website. The next BUTTS Leg will be held at Derby University on 4th February.
