Irish Archers Head to World Championships as CúChulainn Club Announces New Venue in Drogheda
Ardee News and Sport — Despite the extreme weather conditions in Ireland causing the cancellation of many archery competitions, there was still reason to celebrate for the CúChulainn Archers. One of the standout moments came at the Irish Field Archery Federation National Bowhunters Championships 2024, where CúChulainn member Peter Gilmore overcame the adverse conditions to secure a Silver medal and take home the coveted Perpetual Trophy. His impressive performance was one of the few highlights in an otherwise weather-impacted season for Irish archers. Congratulations to Peter on his success!
