Cork City Archery Club

Cork City Archery Club is affiliated to the Irish Field Archery Federation.

The club welcomes new members of all ages and aims to promote and enhance the sport of Archery. The present Cork City Archery Club is one of a series of rebirths of the same club which was first founded in the 1950s in Cork city. There is documented proof of the existence of a Cork City archery club in the 1950/1960 period (possible the first in the Rep.of Ireland) and again in the mid 1970s to la

te 1980s. Practice shoots and competitions were held in both these periods at the Cork Cricket Grounds on The Mardyke just of the Western Road. The club then appeared to enter a period of hibernation for a number of years until it was reawakened by Jason Quigley. On his return from exile in Kilkenny, Jason together with a few other able souls managed to give the club a new lease of life and was subsequently reconstituted in August 1998. Other members like Dan O Shea from the 1980s period returned to the fold with training and shoots being relocated to new grounds namely the Delaney Hurling and Football Club. During this period the club also welcomed into its membership the husband and wife team of Pat & Eugene O Sullivan, both of whom later took over the reins of the club. After years of Trojan work Pat and Eugene, aided and abetted by a hoard of newly recruited and eager archers brought the club further along its winding path to be reconstituted in May 2008 in light of new Sports/Legal & National Legislation. Following this a new committee headed by “Mick de chair Geaney” a long lasting stalwart of the club set about bringing the club forward organising both indoor and outdoor training in Rathpeacon Community Centre and Kilcully Scouts Training Ground respectively. In the last number of years there has been a huge increase in the numbers seeking to be involved in a steadily growing Cork City Archery Club and the increasingly popular sport of archery. Many of our archers have been National Champions in both junior and senior categories and have represented Ireland at Euro nation’s level not to mention holding a number of past Irish records.

And that's a wrap on another come'n'try at this years Cork Summer Show. Looking at the maths we had over 500 people try shooting some arrows again this year and we also gave the next generation of archers their first opportunity to gain some insights into coaching beginners.

Special thanks to the youngsters who gave their time!
Sara Chan, Megan O'Leary, Donnacha Hurley, Hana Chan and their friends who helped out as well.

Thanks to our volunteers over the weekend:
Michelle Gallagher, John Foley, John Bradfield, Joe Whelton, Jason Chan, Kate Dolan-Crowley.

Thanks to the Committee for running it again and special thanks to Bill Cashman and Brian Power for always doing the transport and setup/takedown on top of everything else!
