British women take World Cup gold

The Great Britain women's recurve team struck gold at the Archery World Cup tournament in Dover.

Alison Williamson, Naomi Folkard and Charlotte Burgess added victory to the bronze medal they won at last month's World Championships in Leipzig.

In the men's recurve, British trio Alan Wills, Simon Terry and Larry Godfrey beat China 219-213 to claim the bronze.

It adds to their World Championship silver last month and the World Cup series gold in the Varese, Italy.

British compound archers Nicky Hunt and Liam Grimwood are into the semi-finals in Dover.

Hunt, 22, now faces Jamie Van Natta of the US after beating world record holder Gladys Willems. Her previous World Cup best was 13th in Korea.

Grimwood, 20, is the only archer not in the top four rankings after qualifying to make it to the semi-finals.

Next up for him is the current World Cup series overall leader Jorge Jimenez of El Salvador.
