Fin-ishing first!

The annual Blakiston challenge threw up a new name for the trophy this year.

Previous two time winner Alex Coles was consigned to history as young Fin Smith raced to victory.

The pressure was on Fin  as he had been constantly reminded that his predecessor  in the 10 shirt, Dan Biggar, had taken the trophy on debut. But anything Dan can do......and young Fin sprinted over the finishing line closely followed by George Furbank. Honours to the backs this year!

The lads compete for the honour of blowing the hunting horn - so far not one of them have mastered it - unlike Kitman Kev Buckby who gives a blast to start the race.
