Dungiven YFC enjoy a busy summer of competitions

This involved great skill in trying to pick out the best stock.

The finals saw members from Dungiven YFC being placed in the dairy, beef, sheep and silage competitions.

Well done to Shannon Conn and Louise Conn who were placed in beef, Sam Patterson who was placed in sheep, Holly Miller, Claire Young and James Purcell who were all placed in dairy and Anna Connell, Lucy Carmichael, James Purcell, Matthew Gault and David Oliver who were all placed in silage assessment.

During the summer Dungiven YFC helped out with stewarding at the Co Londonderry Agricultural Show and also took part in a numbers of competitions.

The girls football team came third in the football and Dungiven YFC won the chairman’s challenge, a very difficult competition which required a lot of stamina and endurance.

Well done to member Laura Fulton who won the ATV driving competition, this competition required high level driving skills to manoeuvre the ATV through the course in the fastest time.

The girls tug o’war team came second in their section while the boys teams won their sections in tug o’war.
