The Netherlands team, consisting of Sjef van den Berg, Rick van den Ven and Steve Wijler, will compete for their first indoor world title after a 5-3 victory over Ukraine in the semi-final, during which they only dropped three points, at the NFAA Easton Yankton Archery Complex.

After his side’s victory, van den Ven said: "I think we are all happy.

"We ranked first and that was a starting point.

"After that, we shot great in the quarters and in the semis.

"Hopefully we can keep it up until Sunday.

Wijler, recently announced as both the recurve archer and breakthrough athlete of the year by World Archery, added: "We are really confident.

"We have Sjef [van den Berg], who’s in the individual gold medal match and shot a European record.

"I did really well and Rick [van den Ven] is back on track, so we feel confident in our team.”

The Netherlands are now due to face Australia, whose team of Taylor Worth, Ryan Tyack and Astin Darcy, thrashed Russia 5-1.

There was, however, success for Russia in the women’s recurve event as they saw off competition from Ukraine in their semi-final, beating them 5-4 in a tense shoot-off.

They will now face Germany, whose team includes Rio 2016 silver medallist Lisa Unruh and who beat France 5-1.
