Ball Game exhibition

The 2024 Ball Game was started by Rita Curry and, as tradition dictates, she passed the ball through the bull ring in the centre of the village before throwing it to the crowd.

The game was well attended and the usual scrums, running and kicking were seen along with an incident of the ball getting stuck on the roof of a bus. Players rocked the bus back and forth to retrieve the ball and continue the game!

The game was won by Harrison Lower, aged 19 who adds another win to the Lower family tally as dad, Martin, had won the game back in 2012.
