After a damp day on the Saturday, the Beginners Championship H2H’s finished in nice sunny conditions on the Sunday afternoon. The gold medal was won on a tense one arrow shoot off; as Adrienn nailed a 10, the crowd seemed to gasp and cheer at the same time, and even though Dan also struck gold, it wasn’t quite enough to claim the top spot. What a fitting way to finish off a fantastic weekend.
