After a brilliant, although slightly wet first day at the County Show, Staffordshire Young Farmers held their Male and Female Tug of War in the Main Ring on Wednesday evening, 29th May. A full ring of supporters from across the County and other clubs also turned out in force to watch a hard-fought competition. Many of the teams have been training three times a week since the new year and their hard work and efforts paid off.
With six teams taking part in both competitions and following a great standard of pulling the results on the evening for the male competition were: Cheadle YFC team beat Eccleshall A YFC to the 1st place position. Eccleshall A YFC were the runners-up and Waterhouses YFC took 3rd place.
In the female competition, Cheadle YFC took the 1st place after a close finish with Eccleshall A coming 2nd. Leek YFC came in with a closely fought 3rd place.
The 1st and 2nd placed teams from each competition will now go forward to the West Midlands Round of the competition at being held on Sunday 16th July at The Three Counties Show, Worcestershire.
