Promising Manx archer Aalin George says she is surprised how many people at home were following her Great Britain debut in Italy at the weekend.
She made the final of the Women's Cadet compound competition at the European Archery Junior Cup at Reggio, eventually settling for silver by the narrowest of margins.
Aalin says the competition was more intense than anything she had previously experienced:
