Pic by Edward Lee
Hampsthwaite claimed bragging rights over Birstwith for the rest of the year after winning the annual New Year's Day tug of war contest.
Men’s and women’s teams from the Joiners Arms in Hampsthwaite and the Station Hotel in Birstwith did battle at Hampsthwaite cricket field yesterday in front of a large crowd of spectators.
The men’s and women’s teams from Hampsthwaite both came out top in the best-of-three pulls.
The teams then put aside their rivalries to enjoy pie and peas at the Joiners Arms and take part in a raffle to raise money for Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
