It was good to see so many new young pullers competing in there first Championships. We started of with the Mixed 580kg and with only teams from Ayrshire and Tinto but after a good pull Tinto came out winners to claim the first Gold medal. We then moved on to the 680kg and with 3 team competing it was a good competition in which Cornhill took the Gold after some good pulling. The 600kg was next where we saw Cornhill take the second Gold of the day after a good long pull. The last weigh of the day was the 640kg where we had 3 teams again but this time Ayrshire came out on to to claim the Gold medal. Teams will now continue to train towards the British & Irish Championships which are being held in N Ireland at the end of January.

British & Irish Championships Aug 9th & 10th
An amazing weekend for Scottish tug of war at the British and Irish championships.
It kicked off on Friday morning with Scotland A teams both winning gold in the mens 600kg and ladies 520kg. The ladies B team also did brilliantly, punching way above their weight to win the bronze medal weighing in 30kg light. Scotland then went into the afternoon weights, the men's 680kg and the ladies 560kg. The Scotland ladies showed real class again winning gold with their 520kg team. This left the mixed with Scotland putting out 2 strong teams but the days efforts took their toll and were pipped at post in a 3 ender final against a very strong England team.
Onto the second day with Elgin, Ayrshire and Cornhill competing in the clubs day. First of all Cornhill men won gold in the 600kg. Ayrshire ladies winning the 520kg. Cornhill then made 1 change from their double gold 600 team to make the 560kg catergory obliterating class opposition to again win gold. The Scottish clubs all then competed in the final weight of the championship the mixed and all of the made the semifinals. This set up an interesting local derby final between Elgin and Cornhill but Cornhill had been more efficient through the weight and controlled the final to win their 4th gold of the championships.

British & Irish Championships
Tremendous weekend of Tow just past at the British & Irish championships in Bedford ,the biggest ever haul of medals from the Scottish teams at an outdoor championships.4 Cornhill lads with a puller each from Tinto,Kinneff,Braemar and Fife&Kinross represented Scotland A in a tough 11 team league where they sneaked into the semis against the favourites and multiple medallists at international level Norton who were representing England A Scotland’s aggressive tactics proved too much for England and Scotland made it thru to the final winning 2-0 with the 1st end being re-centered, Ireland A was too strong in the final and won the gold medal 2-0.Next up the Cornhill lads and lassies represented Scotland in the mixed where after a 10 team league and overcoming England B in the semis they came up against England A in the final the European champions though were in fine form and England won 2-0. Ayrshire ladies also won 2 medals on day 1 with a gold in the 520 and silver in the 560.
Sunday was club day where the teams pull in the club colours Cornhill started the day with their best ever result at this level overcoming world class opponents G&B from Rep Ireland in the 600kg semis and then rattling up Norton again and winning gold in a feisty 2-1 win truly a fine performance especially losing the toss in the deciding 3rd ends in both semi and the final. The 4 Cornhill ladies then made up a team with 4 Irish lassies to get some extra pulling and made it thru to the last 4 in the 520 but just missed out on the bronze. The men entered the 560kg event and once again made the semis, but no final this time after losing to Upper Eden from England, the bronze pull was hard going but Cornhill got another medal winning 2-0 against Haldon from England. Last comp of the day was the mixed 580kg and with a lot of bodies now tiring 6 teams entered for a final chance to win medals, Cornhill proved worthy winners and won in fine style without dropping an end. Ayrshire ladies added to their medal haul by winning the 520 event, Elgin were also in Bedford competing in just their 2nd international event and stuck in both days and just missed out on medals in the 640 and 720 events on Sunday
