8th July 2010 - London Youth Games

ARCHERY was one of 17 sports at the Balfour Beatty London Youth Games finals at the National Sports Centre, Crystal Palace at the weekend, where 9,000 young people from 33 London boroughs competed.

IT WAS a brother and sister double act in the archery as Sebastian and Anna Stedman helped fire the Redbridge team to the overall gold medal.

Sebastian, 12, picked up gold in the boys’ under 14 category while sister Anna, 15, claimed silver in the girls’ under 18 competition.

The pair’s pedigree in the sport was well known as they had both claimed gold in their individual categories back in 2009 and they were at it again over the weekend.

They had a big hand in the Redbridge team claiming the overall title with a score of 3301 ahead of Havering in second (2931) and Barnet in third (2830).

Younger brother Sebastian said: “We both love archery and we really enjoy coming to the London Youth Games. We both won here last year so we were confident that we could do well again.

Our coach says that we are both quite competitive, which makes us more determined to do well.

Our parents will say well done when we get home, but they have come to expect us to come home from events with medals round our necks.”

And older sister Anna said: “I could have done a little better, I missed one target and that had a big effect on my score. But I’ve enjoyed my day and I’m not too disappointed to have come second.”
