Archie Bromley of Archers of Raunds, has won a team bronze medal at the U18 European Youth Cup held in Sion Switzerland from 5th til 10th June 2023.
The under 18 men’s team made up of Archie, Max Oakley and Midas Tang, qualified in 4th place following the ranking round. They beat Slovakia in the quarter finals 5-4, then met Italy in the semi finals which they lost 2-6, putting them into the Bronze medal match against Germany. The close match went all the way to a shoot-off but GB’s 28 score including a nice 10 from Archie, was better than the Germans’ 24 to take the win.
