Club Match Play Champioships

The Club Match Play championships were held recently and once again this event proved to be a popular variation to the normal format. The Match Play is a knockout tournament with the winner of each round being the archer who wins most targets. Once again it was shot in divisions although next year we may try and extend the format so that every archer is in the same competition. The results of this tournament were;

Division 1: Final Rohan Ammundsen beat Eamon Gaffney 8/4
Semi Finals Rohan Ammundsen beat Steve Collinson 6/3
Eamon Gaffney beat Ray Scott 5/4
Plate Final Bert Niessen beat Grant Wylie 1/0

Division 2: Final David Niel beat Bruce Ward 5/4
Plate Final Murray Trott beat Wayne Braxton 11/3

Division 3: Final Kane Meehl beat Adrian Courtland 9/8
Plate Final Richard Musson beat Carole Lewis 10/1

Traditional: Final Russell Meehl beat Tom Lambert 2/0
Plate Final Gordon Boyd beat Tony Lewis 10/4

New Zealand Bow Hunters Tournament

This year the New Zealand Bow Hunter Society was celebrating its 40^th anniversary so the annual Queens Birthday weekend tournament promised to be something special and it was. The venue was a farm at Glen Massey which is about 15 minutes away from Ngaruawahia, located immediately under the largest stationery mob of rain clouds that we have ever seen. For the three days of the tournament these clouds seemed determined to try and wash us away.

The venue made use of a large wool shed in which displays of heads, skins and photos were on view. The archery suppliers also had room to set up stalls so all in all it was an excellent focal point for the event. Two courses were set out which were shot from different set of pegs thereby making it in effect a four round event. Targets consisted of a mixture of McKenzie 3Ds and normal painted mat targets.

Quite a number of archers made use of the facilities at Waingaro Hot Springs for accommodation. This was really appreciated after the afternoon rounds when groups of wet and bedraggled archers soaked some warmth back into our bodies before heading to the next door pub for food and refreshments. I don’t have time to tell you about all the after hour exploits at Waingaro, suffice to say it’s a little bit like Fawlty Towers meeting Colditz so if you are ever considering a holiday there make sure you take along a good sense of humour.

Massey archers once again performed very well at this tournament with the relevant results being;
