THE annual Tony Greenwell Stafford tournament hosted by the Redditch Company of Archers saw Evesham securing the team trophy for the second year running.

Shooting the six dozen arrow round at 30 metres, the club's quartet of Peter Williams, Malcolm Porter, Linda Haines and Laurence Gregory recorded an aggregate total of 3569 to take the honours by a clear 100 points.

Williams, who has won this event on the last two occasions, notched up a superb 671 to finish second overall.

Porter made 659 and Gregory 647, while Haines entered 592.

Andrew Crowther registered 543 and was second in the Under-18 section.

Jacquie Williams produced a fine 551 and was first junior lady compound bow.

Ian Trout (625) claimed the limited compound bow prize while Olympic bow archer Bar-bara Stanway shot 589.

A good 2106 from Porter, Peter Williams, Gregory and David Burns saw Evesham A off to a flying start in this season's Bow International FITA 18 League.

The B team amassed 1813 with scores from Peter Gregory, Lesley Howells, Linda Haines and 15-year-old Andrew Crowther.

The West Midland's champion's superb 455 also gave him top place in the junior team where he was joined by Helen Gath (419) and Natalie Miller (216).

The compound bow archers were also in fine form with European champion Simon Tarplee (585) and ex-Warwick-shire champion Lloyd Burton (554) the leading pair. Bern-adette Burton (490) and Ian Trout (488) made up the B team.
