Members of the club travelled to the Tullyglass House Hotel in Ballymena to compete in a number of events including press ups, cracker eating competitions and much more.

Five members of the club took part in the highly competitive competition. Luckily Finvoy YFC played to their strengths and were crowned champions on the night. Well done to all members who took part.

The club’s annual exchange to Scotland was next on the agenda with the club travelling to Carluke Young Farmers in Lanarkshire.
