Hard to say what the highlight of the day was, the Gents Compound honours had to be split between TWO perfect rounds by Dave Wakeford and Steve Allen, and Steve Baldwin dug deep and kept in front of what must have been the highest scoring 'pelleton' ever to win the single round with a new Sussex County Barebow record. His double score was also a record, but Jason Meehan (from Surrey) nudged his way past to win, and then continued to win the Triple Round. Doug Hendrie was close behind with personal bests, and actually equalled the current Single-Round County Record. Gavin Sutherland was the Gents Recurve winner again, and this time his 297 single will count as a record - last time the same score was ineligible because it was shot on a 5-spot face. In the second round he did even better, scoring 298 for a double round Record of 595. Steve Bowie from Reigate improved impressively on his 2013 score to come in second with 283. Iorwouth Evans got off to a slow start in the first round, but got and better and better and ended with a sizzling 288 to win the Recurve Triple. Linda Palmer EQUALLED both her single and double Compound Records, and Ross Carr shoot a perfect round to follow his 299 first round, winning the Compound Double with 599. Petra Ginman continues to move upwards, and won the Ladies Recurve with 275. 'Our' Liz was in third place behind Gill Wood, with a PB of 263. Andy Vaughan was the lone Gent Longbow, shooting his first Worcester, and his score was only 14 points behind the very experienced Alan Smith's 2013 score, he must be very pleased. And to make us all feel humble, Michaela Lake celebrated her first year as an Archer with two great County Ladies Barebow Records. The Juniors have some hard acts to follow and there are some Junior County Records from Will Martin and Bryony Pitman that may stand for some years, but Jodie Green got within ten points of the existing Double Record, and has three more years ahead to make it her own.
