Last year the Tug-of-War European & World Championships were held in England. The U18 England teams represented their country with the grit and determination of athletes many years their senior. It was the first ever time an U18 girls team had represented England, and despite being against teams from countries whose National Sport is Tug-of-War, with the sport being on their schools' national curriculum's, the girls still managed a 4th place. Boys teams are hugely represented and still our England boys finished in the top 10.

This year both teams are due to compete in South Africa. Each team member (10 per team- 8 pullers and 2 reserves) will need to raise £1000 to pay for transport, accommodation, food and training. This is currently out of reach for most of the team mates and so they need your help to proudly represent their country in September.

We need half the total by July to pay deposits!
