The Sports Day
Posted: Tuesday, 27 July 2004 |
After the race everyone headed back up to the field for the Sports, Men towards the Tossing of the Sheaf, Ladies over to the Shott and Discus, Children to their races.
A grand day was had by all, the kids especially. But everyone was just waiting for the Tug of War. A South Man, Tony McLarney was on duty at Oban Fire Station, and desparately trying to get back before the Tug started. I'm sure next year, he'll try and have the whole weekend booked off!
What can I say about the Tug of War, well the South Men won the first pull, but then the North Men won the second and third. Quote of the day had to come from George MacColl, who asked the South Captain, Iris MacColl, "Iris, is it right the last time the South Men won the tug, Baldy Campbell was anchor?". Iris, just smiled and walked away.
The Teenagers lined up for their pull, the South having two lassies on the team. But the North didn't have a hope, as the South pulled for all their worth and won two of the three pulls. Its good to know that the future of the South is in good hands.
South Teenagers Rule!
The South Women, all hand picked by Iris, lined up, and pulled the North Women to Glensanda. Then ends were swapped and the North Women had the advantage and managed to pull the South Women over the line. However, the third and final pull saw the South Women rally once more, and again pull the North back to Glensanda.
