REUBEN Kingston finished fourth at the National Junior Indoor Championships at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.
In a very competitive under-14 recurve section, the Bride Valley archer who lives in Litton Cheney, was placed just one point off third spot and four points behind the winner.
His score of 549 for the Portsmouth round was a county and regional record.
Although disappointed not to win the national title, he received other good news.
He has been invited to a selection event at Lilleshall National Sports Centre to choose an England Cadet (under-17) team for the Commonwealth Youth Games in Samoa.
He also won the under-14 section of the Summer Metrics, a National Postal competition run by Archery GB.
His next indoor events are the Bourne-mouth Open in January and the Dorset and Wilts Indoor Championships in February and then an early start to the outdoor season in preparation for the Selection Shoot in April.
