Roll the Barrel 2018

A mild and dry Boxing day morning led to a fantastic crowd turning out for this year's Boxing Day festivities on Denbigh's high street.

The morning's events started off with a drive through of 25 vintage tractors and a group of five Landrovers (these being mainly series one models, as Landrover are this year celebrating 70 years of production).

Following the tractor drive through, we all experienced a wonderful site as over 100 horses and riders of the Flint & Denbigh Hunt arrived for their annual top of town meet and Stirrup Cup.

The track was then set up for the morning's main attraction - the All-Wales Championship Barrel Rolling Competition, with again a full entry of competitors, including the junior and senior boys and girls races. List of winners as follows:

Junior Girls - Ffion Jones

Junir Boys - Alfie Hoyles

Senior Boys - Gwion Williams

Mens Championship - Gareth Owen

Mens Runner-up - Gary Madoc-Jones

Ladies Championship - Tina Hoyles

Ladies Runner-up - Eluned Evans

To finish off the morning, the Rotary Club of Denbigh's Grand Christmas Raffle was drawn- winners as follows:

1st Prize - Adam Jones (Denbigh)

2nd Prize - Helen Marson (Cirencester)

3rd Prize - Dilwyn Roberts (Denbigh)
