🏹 HOME NATIONS CUP 2026 – STIRLING 🏹
What a weekend! My first time shooting at the Home Nations Cup, representing Team NI as part of the Recurve Women’s Team alongside Hollie and Eliza! 💚💙
QUALIFICATION – WA720
Qualification started with a WA720 where I shot 521, giving me a NEW PB by 1 point!
I haven’t shot anywhere near that score recently, so to pull it out at an away competition made it even more special! Especially considering we were all running on little to no sleep 😂
I finished qualification ranked 8th overall in the Recurve Women. The wind definitely kept us guessing, but it was such a great day shooting alongside some familiar faces and getting to meet so many new ones!
A massive thank you to all the nations for the lovely gifts too! 🥹🫶
🏹 TEAM H2Hs
Next up were the team Head-to-Heads!
Our first match was against England, where we unfortunately lost 6–2, putting us into the Bronze Medal Match.
We then faced Wales and gave it everything! There was some really great shooting with only a few points separating the end scores. Wales had an amazing comeback towards the end, finishing with a 51 to take the match 6–2.
That meant we finished 4th overall, and although we didn’t come home with any bling this time, we definitely put up a fight! 💪🏼
Well done to the Welsh team such a fun match to shoot!
💚 WEEKEND SUMMARY 💙
This weekend was about so much more than medals. We made so many amazing memories from the boat journey and minibus travels to all the laughs and moments on the shooting line.
So proud to have had the opportunity to represent Northern Ireland at my first Home Nations Cup alongside such a great team. 💚💙
No bling this time… but plenty of memories, a new PB and an experience I won’t forget!
Already can’t wait for the next Home Nations Cup! Roll on 2027
