IslandStats.com
Bermuda's archery team has faced a challenging summer, with some competitors missing out on the World Archery Youth Championship due to a recent Air Canada strike. However, two of the island's top archers, Camerin Pickering and Jaydon Roberts, are set to compete on the world stage, leaving tonight for the World Archery Championships in Gwangju, Korea.
The duo will represent Bermuda at the senior championships, a significant step up in competition. Roberts is fresh off his performances at the recent Junior Pan American Games, where he gained valuable experience against top international talent. Pickering has also been in good form, with a recent standout performance at the Vegas Shoot in March, where he won his flight.
With only two archers from the island able to compete at this level, Pickering and Roberts will be carrying the flag for Bermuda at one of the sport's most prestigious events. The championships are set to take place from September 5-12, and the Bermudian pair will be hoping to make their mark against the world's best archers.

Dominican Republic 1 Bermuda 0
Bermuda's Under-14 Girls' team has been knocked out of the CFU U14 Challenge Series, suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to the Dominican Republic in their Tier 1 Semi-Final at the Ato Bolden Stadium in Trinidad.
The young Bermuda team faced a tough challenge from the outset, with the Dominican Republic dominating the first half and creating several scoring opportunities. However, a determined Bermudian defense, led by goalkeeper Sydney Denkins, held firm, and the two teams went into the break with the score level at 0-0.
The deadlock was finally broken in the 48th minute. Following a scramble in the penalty area, Bermuda failed to clear the ball, allowing a Dominican Republic player to unleash a powerful shot into the roof of the net, giving her side the decisive 1-0 lead.
The Dominican Republic continued to apply pressure, but Denkins, who was later named player of the match, along with her resilient backline, was able to hold them off. Despite their solid defensive effort, Bermuda was unable to find an equaliser, and the match ended in a 1-0 defeat.
