Lincolnshire Young Farmers sports day at De Aston
sports centre, Market Rasen, gave local clubs that chance to duke it out over
some games.
Our first attempt at our sports day was thwarted by bad weather which made it difficult for our more far-flung friends to attend, however this time round there was no beating us. Rain or shine (and a little hail) we were going to play.
The competitions were: field hockey, ultimate Frisbee, jump rope, disco dancing, and dodgeball. All the teams showed a great amount of effort and enthusiasm while taking part in the games, well done to all!
The great thing about the sporting competitions, like many of the Young Farmer’s opportunities, was that it encouraged all abilities to get involved and have a go.Young farmers not only allows you to have fun but also use great talents or pick up a new skill.
The sports day was my first chance to have a real go
at field hockey and despite my doubts, at the end of the games, I was reluctant
to get off the pitch.
Ultimate Frisbee was a new game for many players, and an extra challenge was posed by the wind. The games that Louth took part in featured eventful occurrences such as one individual answering a call mid-air on the pitch, and myself throwing the Frisbee into someone’s garden. Big thanks to Tristan for climbing the fence and getting that back.
Choreographed jump rope gave competitors the chance to show off their skills and stamina to music, and for the lesser prepared among us, show how quickly we could think on our feet and make something up.
Young Farmers gives members the chance to show off all manner of skills and abilities, including disco dancing. I missed this competition but heard good things about those who chose to bust a move.
Great sportsmanship was shown by all clubs, from the players on the pitch, to the supporters on the side. A big thank you to everyone. The top teams will go on to represent Lincolnshire Young Farmers at EMA this March in Cleethorpes.
But it’s not about who wins or loses, it’s all about having fun and after all, at Young Farmers, everyone’s a winner…but actually:
Jump Rope: 1st Alford, 2nd Louth, 3rd Harmston A
Disco Dance: 1st Alford, 2nd Wragby, 3rd Harmston
Dodgeball: 1st Mixed team A (North Holland, Louth, Wragby) 2nd Mixed team B (North Holland, Market Rasen, Alford, Harmston, Wragby)
Ultimate Frisbee: 1st Alford, 2nd Market Rasen, 3rd Harmston
Hockey: 1st Wragby, 2nd Market Rasen, 3rd Louth.
Congrats!!!
