Three team members were chosen as the best junior archers of the day.

Francois du Rand was the star of the day as he took first place for the best junior archer of the day in the boy’s category.

Magdel Wilhelm was awarded third place for the best junior archer of the day in the girl’s category.

Inyala Archery Club will now be preparing for the Gauteng provincial championships next month at Riebeeck Rand in Randfontein.
