Pacemaker Press: 13 July 2022: Wednesday, July 13, marked the return of the Scarva Sham Fight - after an absence of two years.

The mock battle between King William and King James and the large-scale procession through Scarva - hosted by Sir Knight Alfred Buller Memorial RBP 1000 - is firmly established as a unique cultural event in Northern Ireland.
