PCYC takes archery awards

The Umina Beach PCYC archery team has made a "clean sweep", taking out all four awards in its first interclub competition in Sydney on May 30.

The team took out the club champions trophy, highest end score prize and second highest score for archer Vanessa Love, as well as the first highest score trophy for Lawrence Gatt against the Campbelltown PCYC.

"We are extremely proud of all our archers. We have some very talented children and youth in our club," club manager Allison Carpenter said.

"Archery only started as a club activity in February this year and at this rate we will be sending kids to the Olympics soon.

"Archery is a great sport where you get to see results very quickly.

"It is great for improving posture, hand and eye coordination and suits all ages from seven to 97.

"Archery is currently run at the club after school, during the day, school holidays and weekends.

"We are offering archery as a school sport from term three."
