I am delighted that Patience has continued her progress this year and to announce that Patience has been selected to represent Great Britain not once but twice this outdoor season.

The first is the European Youth Cup 2022 which will take place in Bucharest, Romania in July and then in August for the European Youth Archery Championships 2022 which will be held a Lilleshall.

This selection follows on from Patience representing GB in February this year for the European Indoor Archery Championships 2022 in Lasko Slovenia, and the European Youth Cup 2021 in Bucharest August the previous year.

Patience has had some great results so far this year and continues to produce strong performances in both Senior and Junior competitions, attaining many NCAS, Cheshire and a few National Records along the way.

At the recent Junior National Outdoor Championships 2022 (JNOC) which saw impressive performances by several Cheshire Junior Archers, Patience retained her national title becoming Bristol 3 Ladies Compound Under 16 Champion for 2022 once again. Patience did this in impressive fashion by shooting a perfect round of 1296 equalling her National Record in the process. Not content with her accomplishments on the archery field, Patience has also become part of the Archery GB Ambassador Programme and has started to promote archery giving talks in schools and inspiring other young people to start their archery journey. Patience’s enthusiasm and commitment to archery is something to be admired and is a credit to archery her in Cheshire. Lee Padmore Cheshire County Coach Bebington Archers
