IWGA Athlete of the Month September 2015: Bancran Tug of War
Congratulations to Bancran Tug of War, IWGA Athletes of the Month for September 2015. The Northern Irish Tug of War team just convincingly captured the European title in the 560kg class.
Their success came on special ground as they competed in front of a home crowd in Belfast, Northern Ireland. After winning many national competitions in Northern Ireland and in the UK earlier in 2015, Bancran now also managed to dominate The World Games 2013 champions from Switzerland in the final. Fuelled by a supporting local crowd the Northern Irish team wrote club history by bringing home their first European Tug of War title led by team managers Mickey Bradley & Hugh Heron. This achievement also to their nomination as IWGA Athletes of the Month September 2015!
