ࡱ> 463} ybjbj55 4__y XX  Ih$S^o*@0Ij4IX a: Badsworth Hunt Mounted Games Friendly 6th April 2008 Mad, crazy and stupid were probably some of the words thoughts by the majority of the games parents as they drew their curtains very early on Sunday 6th April. We were greeted by at least 2 inches of snow! However, with the roads clear the Cheshire Hunt North games teams hit the road. News filtered through that our destination, Woolley, Nr Huddersfield had sunshine and NO snow so at long last the 2008 games season was off and running. Seniors were on first and Cheshire North were represented by two teams: Red (Emily Hodge - Copper, Tommy Baker - Limo, Amy Hollinshead - Bluebell, Georgia Drummond - Sylph and Katie Vernon - Penny) and Black (David Williams - Crispie, Leah Connor - Toby (making his first outdoor games appearance), Ros Darlington - Goldie (who were both making their first outdoor games appearances), Georgina Bell - Ladybird (whose pony was making her debut games competition) and Millie Darlington - Star (who were making their senior squad debut as 5th member). With 24 teams originally entered and 20 running on the day the format for the event was a toughie, first 2 teams home in the 3 heats then contested a final for that race. Races were keenly contested, with some exciting finishes. The results were verified and... the Cheshire North Red team had WON! A fantastic start to their 2008 outdoor campaign. The Black team came a worthy equal 8th with our neighbours East Cheshire but with no run-off the places in the final race were taken into account and our team were awarded 9th place. And so to the juniors and as the parade finished (with our team of Katie Vernon & Penny, Millie Darlington & Star, Emma Bell & Magic, Becky Thomas & Flair and Daniel Drummond & Sylph - who was still full of running after competing in the Seniors competition) our luck ran out with the weather as the temperature dropped and it began to snow. The competition was run similar to the Seniors with the first 3 teams home from 2 heats qualifying for a final. The children battled bravely with the elements and the equipment and Pennie, Nicky and Andrew Bell kept whipping rugs and coats off and on the team! They can vouch how heavy and awkward rugs and coats get when wet. Keeping hands warm and spirits up were the order of the day. After the team had won their heat of the penultimate race (quoits & cone) in thickly falling snow the organisers called it a day. We believe that by qualifying for that final, our position could not have been beaten - we had WON! Daniel celebrated by leaping off his pony and rolling in the snow and sheep pooh - thanks Dan for the Persil challenge! Many thanks to the parents who line stewarded and kept unofficial scores and to our hosts, Badsworth Hunt, for a well organised event. A super venue with lovely views but please could the weather also be booked so that we get to see it all day!
