Learn exercises you can practice outside of archery with just a stretch band!

All members are welcome but booking is essential :)

Last summer, the UL Archery Club had the great honour of working with World Archery to organise the World Archery Youth Championships 2023 in Limerick. The event took place July 3rd to July 9th and there was months of work involved beforehand. Aimwell Events approached us in early 2022 and asked us to help organise the WAYC23. This involved recruiting volunteers in Limerick, packing goodie bags, and organising equipment.

Qualifications took place from Monday to Friday. Every day, we set up the field of play at 6am sharp, and then set it up again when the wind blew it all down! We met archers from all around the world. Our team were spread out all across campus, guiding the athletes, organising lunches, protecting their gear, collecting arrows, and preparing accreditation passes. We worked hard and there was a lot of heavy lifting, and a lot of heavy rain. Our captain at the time Lauren was also interviewed by RTE and Student Life, leading her to become the face of our club.

Finals were scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. The entire event was televised, and you can catch a glimpse of Lauren and Dervla awarding medals to the winners. It was such an honour to be a part of it all.

A huge thank you to World Archery, Archery Ireland, and Aimwell Events for involving our club. Well done to Lauren Moriarty, Dervla Ryan, Eoin Timlin, Kenny Kosasih, Joseph Bourke, Emilia Ziolek and the rest of the UL Archery Team for their hard work. See you in Canada for WAYC 2024!
