Yesterday was the conclusion of the Nitowa - Northern Ireland Tug of War Association championships where we got onto the mats for both the 640kg & 560kg weights. Finishing fourth in both weights we lost out to stronger opponents in both semi finals. It was very much a family affair yesterday with the Mc Auleys well represented when young Sean pulled his first competition alongside his mother and father. Well done to Sean and our other novices, Sam and Johnnie. The club is proud of you lads 👌⚫🟡

Tough night at the Nitowa - Northern Ireland Tug of War Association 680/600kg championships. The club is indebted to Noel, Nelson, Sam, Ryan and Karen for making sure we got out on the mats. Special mention on the club's first father/son and husband/wife pairing. I'm sure it made for an interesting car journey home 😜⚫🟡
