CLOSING COMMENTS

At this time we have archers whose commitment and training will produce the required performances to meet the above mentioned qualifying standards. We have one lady archer who is continually breaking UK National Records and is a true international competitor. We feel that, if local archers were invited to represent Jersey at the Delhi 2010 Games, their performances both on and off the tournament field would be a benefit in helping to promote Jersey as a community of committed sportsmen and women.
For and behalf of ‘The Archery Association of Jersey’ Mr. M.A.Jezequel (Chairman)
