A BROTHER and sister duo both picked up medals last week as the UK’s finest archers assembled in Nottingham for the National Tour finals.
Taking place at Wollaton Hall, both Adam Carpenter and his sister Izzy were successful as they continued their fine form.
In the Compound Men competition Adam shot to gold, beating Khai Thomas-Prause and won his third consecutive National Tour title.
Adam is a member of Barnsley Archery Club, on Shaw Lane, like his sister and began the sport when he went on holiday to Centre Parcs.
He has goals set for the year to make the team for the senior and junior European Championships.
Izzy managed to bag a bronze medal in the same event last weekend, adding to her individual gold medal at this year’s European Championships in Munich.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
