A HEREFORDSHIRE student with Paralympic goals has made the final of a national tournament.
Archie Eaton, a sixth form student at John Kyrle, has been playing Boccia for eight years, winning four medals since 2015.
Boccia is a Paralympic sport similar to bowls that is practised by many different countries.
Eaton was first introduced to the sport through charity Forest Pulse before joining a local Boccia club.
After being inspired by the London 2012 Paralympics Eaton ended up running the club.
The student is also a member of the Cotswold Crusaders Boccia Club in Cheltenham where he has been a member for four years.
He is also part of the Gloucester Gladiators Academy which is on the Boccia England Talent Pathway.
"Once my classification is made international, I will be eligible to go on to join the England team," said Eaton.
Eaton has also participated in the BE Cup this year and has qualified for the finals.
