UK Student Archery Association

And now the news where you are [28/Sep/15]

SSS Archery are urgently seeking a new League Organiser for 2015/16. The Scottish regional league is backed by Scottish Student Sport, however SSS Archery urgently needs an organiser from within its own ranks to liaise with the governing body. Interested parties should contact Graham Stuart on graham@@scottishstudentsport.com ASAP.

Mark Ferguson takes over as the new SWWU organiser following on from Emily Williams. Adam Peers, Bethany Woodcock and Stephen Fawcett all return for their second, third and fourth seasons respectively.

At least seven teams will be joining leagues this year - enough for a new league in its own right! De Montfort, Leicester, Lincoln and Northampton will all be joining the BUTTS league structure. NEUAL is adding Salford and Central Lancashire (UCLan), whilst a new club at Chichester will feel the SEAL love. An eighth, West of Scotland, may join SSS.

In light of its expansion to an unprecedented 16 teams, NEUAL is adopting a three conference structure with East and West Conferences of 6 teams each and a North Conference of 4 teams. This will cut travel times and cut out 4-way matches. All teams will now play 3 matches plus the Championship events. Also added is NUTC, a NEUAL version of BUTC. The quartet of teams joining BUTTS will play in a separate Division 2 this season, with the format to be confirmed. SEAL have added some Non Recurve Matches.

SEAL joins NEUAL and BUTTS in having published most of their competitive dates, subject to any late changes of course. The first SWWU match is also confirmed. NUTC kicks off the Calendar in Liverpool on 31st October.

Last season's five league winners were Bath, Edinburgh, Lancaster, London and Warwick, whilst the runners up were Aberdeen, Liverpool, Oxford, Southampton and Swansea. Novice league winners were Bath, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Liverpool and Southampton.
