A GRANDMOTHER is beaming with pride after her granddaughter was crowned archery world champion.
Makenna Chadwick, 15, of Omagh in Northern Ireland was crowned the IFAA Junior Female Bow Hunter Recurve world Champion after competing in a competition in South Africa two weeks ago.
The IFAA is the International Field Archery Association that was formally founded 1970 and participating countries agreed on a set of basic rules by which Field Archery tournaments would be run. The association represents more than 50,000 field archers in 45 member countries from all continents.
Avril Chadwick, of York Street, Cudworth contacted the Chronicle to express her pride. She said “I am thrilled at what she has managed to achieve. My son, her father, moved to Northern Ireland but he’s Barnsley born and bred. I am so proud of her.”
