The annual Abbey Bowmen Darts Check-out tournament took place on Sunday 18th February 2018 with 15 archers from 3 disciplines vying to win the coveted Champion cup. A game of some skill and a lot of luck, this competition allows beginners to compete on an even keel with the more experienced archers.
The music played Irish jig to give the real pub atmosphere and the only thing missing was the alacohol! A jovial but competitive spirit ensured a fun competition, which saw a perfect 180, a rather impressive triple treble 1 and everything in between. In the end the victors walked away with the cups, but unlike a real pub the losers did not have to nurse a sore head the following day.
Congratulations to all our winners and a big thank you to everyone who took part. These tournaments would not be as much fun without your participation.
