All archers affiliated through L&RCAA clubs are eligible to represent the county. Archers who are affiliated to Archery GB directly must be affiliated to the county and region too in order to be eligible.

If you are interested in shooting for the county but don’t have any scores to submit yet, you can still register your interest by emailing the Team Captain with scores to follow later.

Selection for Inter County Matches

This year there is one county selection shoot for the team for the first inter county match against Lincs (30th June) which is:

• LAOFAC - York/Hereford (26th May)

The entry form for this shoot is available on the Tournament Calendar page.

For archers who are not able to attend the selection shoot, archers are free to submit any scores shot this season at record status 12 dozen rounds (WA1440s, Double WA70m/50m and York/Herefords) which will also be considered when selecting teams for the inter county matches for the rest of the season.

The archer must submit their scores to the Team Captain (captain@lrcaa.org) who will bring this to the attention of the selection committee, which for 2024 is:

• The County Chair - Eddie Pemberton

• The County Team Captain - Gill Brown

• One other member of the L&RCAA committee

Please take note that the Team Captain will keep a record of all archers’ scores received for the outdoor season, but the responsibility is YOURS, the archer, to make sure that the Team Captain gets them.

Selection for National County Team Tournament

Archers should make the Team Captain aware that they are interested in shooting in this competition and send in appropriate scores from WA720 and twelve dozen rounds. Priority will be given to WA720 scores but not exclusively.

At the moment Leicestershire have been allocated 1x womens recurve, 1 x gents recurve, 1x womens compound and 1 x gents compound teams. Each team to comprise of three archers.

Entry fees for both days are paid by the county but archers will need to find their own accommodation.

It is intended that team selection for this shoot will be completed by 25th August.

In the event that archers are unable to provide suitable scores we will endeavour to arrange a local WA720 selection shoot closer to the selection date.
