LOCAL tug of war team Cupid’s Hill proved they’ve got real pulling power after being crowned British Junior Champions on the weekend.

The current Welsh champions travelled to Bedfordshire to represent Wales in the UK championships.

After digging in their heels, standing their ground, and giving it a bit of hefty heave ho, the lads from Cupid Hill greased their elbows, steadied their nerve and pumped a little bit of iron into their resolve to win every tug in an inspiring display of grunt, groan and hard graft.

Now they are British Kings when it comes to pulling, Cupid Hill will pick up their rope and head to Ireland this September to compete in the World Championships.

Good luck lads and give it some welly!
