British archers Alison Williamson and Simon Terry both won individual medals at the first World Cup tournament of the season in the Dominican Republic.

And GB also won men's team silver and women's team bronze in Santo Domingo.

Shropshire's Williamson took silver in the women's individual event, missing out on the gold when Natalia Valeeva of Italy beat her in the final by 106-101.

Terry, from Lincolnshire, won bronze in the men's event, beating Italy's Marco Galiazzo in the third place shoot-off.

In the men's team event, the British trio of Terry, Alan Wills and Larry Godfrey were beaten 221-215 in the final by top seeds India.

The women's trio of Williamson, Charlotte Burgess and Amy Oliver took bronze when they beat Colombia 210-202 in the third-place shoot-off.

GB performance director Sara Symington said: "It's been a great week, and a very encouraging start to the international season.

"There's a real determination among the squad, and if they build on this, then we're in for an exciting, and hopefully very successful, year."
