When David met David the Wright man won at Magherafelt event!
Tremendous weather conditions meant competitors and spectators were able to thoroughly enjoy the day’s craic.
In between times, the competitors beavered away in a very closely contested match that had the judges going home with considerably less hair on their heads than when they arrived. Each of the David’s managed to just about sneak ahead in their respective classes and David Wright just managed to pip David Gill to take the championship of the field.
