The 40-year-old from Church Stretton, who competed in her sixth Olympics in London, secured the National Series Grand Final title in Oxford.

Williamson cruised past Charlotte Burgess 6-0 in the women's recurve semi-final before seeing off Naomi Folkard 7-3 in the final.

"I'm delighted," said Williamson.

"This is our big domestic event of the year, we all want to win it, and to take the gold medal is a big thrill."
