Geraint Thomas put in a superb performance recording a maximum score in the Gents Unlimited group and finishing just 2 Xs short of the Welsh Record. Meanwhile Nigel Kent produced an impressive display to edge of Dave Home by a single point for the silver medal.

Meanwhile the battle for 3rd position saw Neil Vodden of Pentref shooting neck and neck with Peter Hatherley of Llantwit Major who eventually edged ahead to take the bronze medal. In the Gents Unsighted Recurve group Mike Mattingley and Paul Watson produced some excellent shooting to take 1st and 2nd places on their first major indoor tournament. It was a similar story in the Gents Longbow group where David Cartwright of Zenith Archers took gold at his first attempt with an excellent score.
