Hampshire V Sussex Team Match held at the Saxon Shoot at Andover on 29th April 2012
Many thanks to all of you who turned up to shoot in the Team Match against Sussex on Sunday in what I think was some of the worst shooting conditions I have experienced in many years. The weather led to a very slow morning as the rain fell continuously with gusting winds playing havoc with sight marks and form. It was more a case of who was shooting 6 scoring arrows rather than 6 gold ends. Due to the weather and a number of retirements from the team the Team Managers made a decision to decide the match based on the mornings shooting only. We decided to match archers to keep things even so not all of the scores submitted were included in the final score. On this occasion Sussex had a combined score of 2838 while we had a score of 2678 giving victory to Sussex.
Next year we are going to Sussex and hopefully we will have better weather and will be able to provide a closer competition.
