MP congratulates Donaghcloney archery ace

Carla Lockhart MP • August 22, 2023

DUP MP Carla Lockhart has congratulated Donaghcloney’s Noah Doyle on securing two silver medals at the Archery GB Youth Festival, under 21 event and the home cup mixed teams event.

The Upper Bann representative said:

 

“This is a wonderful achievement by Noah and he has certainly done himself, his family, Donaghcloney and the wider area proud in securing two silver medals at this prestigious event.

 

This is the first time Noah has competed in this class of event, and for him to return with a silver medal for representing Northern Ireland and a silver medal in the team event is superb. It is a credit to him, to his dedication to the sport of archery, and also to his coaches and family. Sporting excellence requires a lot of commitment, not just from the individual who is competing, but their entire support network.

 

I wish Noah well for future competitions and I know he has a very bright future ahead of him in the world of competitive archery. I am always delighted to learn of local success and Noah’s success has certainly helped put Upper Bann on the map in the archery world.”
