Strong Medal Haul for CúChulainn in Waterford
On Saturday, February 1st, eleven members of CúChulainn Archers made the journey from across the country to Waterford to compete in one of the biggest events of the indoor archery season—the Irish Field Archery Federation’s Indoor Nationals 2025.
The competition was hosted by Na Laoch Dall at the SETU West Campus in Carriganore, Co. Waterford, widely regarded as one of the best indoor archery venues in Ireland.
The CúChulainn team delivered an outstanding performance, bringing home an impressive tally of seven medals, including three gold, one silver, and three bronze, as well as a fourth-place finish. The level of competition was particularly fierce, especially in the Senior Male Compound Unlimited category, where only eight points separated the top seven archers.
