Lucy O’Sullivan overcame stiff competition to claim the women’s individual compound title at the recent Commonwealth Games test event in New Delhi earlier this month.
The 19-year-old student, ranked fourth after the preliminaries, saw off the challenge of Scotland’s Tracey McGowan in the semi-finals before beating home favourite Gagandeep Kaur over five sets to take the gold.
This latest win follows her victory in the inaugural Archery GB National Series competition last year and will be a great confidence booster as she continues her preparations for the forthcoming season.
Lucy was joined in India by Mike Coward, Geoff Hairon and Steve Roche, who gained valuable international experience competing for Jersey in both the men’s individual and team recurve.
Nearly 100 archers from nine nations took part in the invitational event, which was organised by the Archery Association of India as part of the run-up to the Commonwealth Games in October this year.
