  This event has been held for the last few years between The Fox and The Dublin over the stream at Kearsney Abbey. This year's winners were The Dublin 2-1.
  Very good turnout of supporters from local people and both pubs despite the cold weather.
  
  The winning pull from The Dublin.
  
  

  

  
  
  
  On the way home the heron was on the river, couldn't resist taking a picture.

  Good fun had by all. At least no-one ended up in the water.

  I think I`d rather end up in that water Pauline than seawater.
  Tell them that I came, and no one answered.
