DENTON archer Tom Barber a member of Thorpe Hamlet Junior Archery Club, has been named among the athletes of the year by the British Olympic Association.

To mark outstanding performances in 2008, Tom was awarded the trophy for archery, in a year where he made the last four in the Olympic shoot-off, was men’s Beijing reserve, and continued to develop into one of the UK’s top archers.

“Tom has had a great year, and is fully deserving of this award,” said Archery GB chairman Lynne Evans.
