MEMBERS of the Evesham club rounded off their winter season with the annual indoor handicap tournament at Wallace House.
Sally Gilder took the top honours by the narrowest of margins when recording a score of 1477 to reign supr-eme.
Shooting a Portsmouth round of five dozen arrows from 20 yards, the junior recurve bow archer had to fight off tough competition from fellow junior Calum Wilson who notched up a fine 1474. An archer shooting to handicap would score 1440 making both the top two's efforts extremely creditable.
