In the Ladies Championship, Lizzy (on the right in the photo, with Evie and Andrew Rees) went head to head with fellow GB field international Victoria Kalmaru, until Lizzy - shooting in her first senior Championship at the age of 17 - closed with a fine 103 to Victoria's 96, and took the coveted title by seven points.

Meanwhile, 12-year-old prodigy Evie, shooting in the under 14 category, easily outshot the opposition in all junior age groups to defeat second placed Mari Jones of Warfield by 40 points, with a score would have taken seventh place in the senior championship.

Richard, from Yelverton, defended his men's title by a comfortable margin from James Annall, of Bath University. His score of 531 was the third highest in the ten years of the competition, and secured the trophy for highest overall Championship score.

Junior Men's Champion is Andrew Brimer, of Radnor Foresters, who defeated last year's champion, Ben Wong. Ben paid the price for a poor start, and could not pull back Andrew's consistent shooting, despite an outstanding third dozen of 108.

England, with a team of three champions, Richard, Lizzy and Evie, easily secured the Home Nations Championship, with Wales in second place, whilst Ballands took both the Club Championship and the Married Couples Trophy to round off an exceptional Championship for the Somerset Club.

A record 195 archers entered the event, which was staged at six venues across the British Isles.
