Adam Ravenscroft, James Mason and Neil Bridgewater stand proudly as the men that have inspired Great Britain to their first European men's team title in half a century.
They held their nerve to see off France in the men’s compound team final at the European Championships in Legnica, Poland, with their victory bringing a 50-year wait for a British men’s team gold to an end.
Ravenscroft, Mason and Bridgewater’s success was also Great Britain’s first-ever European compound bow men's team success.
Having defeated Norway, Denmark and Croatia to reach Saturday morning’s final, the GB trio faced off against France’s Jean Philippe Boulch, Pierre-Julien Deloche and Sebastien Peineau and claimed glory with a 230-229 victory.
The French led 59-58 at the end of the first end, while things were level at 117-117 at the halfway stage.
Great Britain remained in touch – but trailed – at 173-172 down at the end of the third but the final leg proved decisive, a 58-56 score ensuring they claimed gold by just a single point. Sportsbeat 2018
