Delhi success prompts the launch of new Commonwealth championship

Guernsey Archers will be hosting this year's Senior Euronations tournament, which will also incorporate the first European Commonwealth Regional Archery Championship.

Steve Yates, the organiser, is inviting archers from Cyprus, Gibraltar and Malta to join the seven UK Home Nations (including the channel islands), and Ireland, in Guernsey from 20 - 22 July.

Said Ted Burnham, the chairman of English Archery Federation: "This initiative follows the success of archery at the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games.

"Indeed, so successful was it, that World Archery has set up a working party to promote archery as a core sport in future Games. Members of the working party are drawn from Africa, Oceania, Europe, India and the Americas."

Other Commonwealth Archery Regional Tournaments are planned in 2012 in Africa and Oceania. It is hoped that these initiatives will lead to a Commonwealth Archery Championship in 2013.
