YFCU teams gear up for Thompson's tug of war challenge
The event, as in previous years, is expected to draw a huge crowd when the teams take to the cattle rings on the Thursday evening (May 17th) of the Balmoral Show at 5.30pm.
Allison Matthews, marketing co-ordinator from Thompsons, commented on the event: “We have been sponsoring this fantastic event for many years now, and each year it just seems to get bigger and livelier.

The teams will be pulling with all their might to try and take first place and collect the Thompsons Perpetual Shield for the novice, mens and female sections.
A draw will be published on the YFCU Facebook page on Thursday afternoon at one o’clock.
The teams will compete on a round robin basis with semi-finals and finals for novices, advanced and ladies teams.
