The Annual Big Bale Push just gets better and better every year

On Friday 12th September, an evening, buzzing with infectious and good-natured competitive fun, the village was filled by a very lively crowd enjoying the evening of fun and games.

The evening started with the ‘8 and Under’ race, using a smaller bale. The winning team were ‘Rock Stars‘ in a record time.  

The 'Twelve and Under' event was won by the ‘Hornets Young Guns’, and the 'Sixteen and Under' race was won by ‘Hay City Rollers’, both teams are connected with the local Rugby Club, Newquay Hornets. Then of course was the ever-popular 'Ladies' race—the winners, ‘Chicks With Sticks’, are a well named team of very fit local hockey players. They once again swapped hockey sticks for bale pushing kit, winning once again for an incredible sixth consecutive year.

All the above categories were over slightly shorter courses than the full quarter of a mile race run by the ‘180 Veterans’ and the ‘Open’ events.

 

The '180 Veterans' race was won by a magnificent body of men with close connections to Crantock Surf Life Saving Club.  Well named as the ‘Crantock Masters’, their winning time was so good that it would have placed them in third place overall in the ‘Open’ event, which is quite amazing considering that the team of four had a combined age totaling more than 180 years. As always, everybody was very impressed by how fit some people ‘over a certain age’ actually are.

 

This year the Open race—The Cornish Championship, was won by ‘Three Tall Blokes and a Dwarf’, beating last year’s winners ‘Hollywell Bay Surf Life Saving Club’ into second place.  The winning team is very closely connected to newly promoted Newquay Hornets Rugby Club and claimed their first prize and the Cornish Championship Cup with the fastest time of the evening, a magnificent 3 minutes and 8.5 seconds. Repeating their winning success of 2006,”
