Young farmers from across the county descended upon Cawkeld Farm in Kilnwick for an annual day of friendly competition.

At the East Riding Young Farmers’ County Rally on Saturday 1 June, members of the 15 East Riding clubs pitted themselves against each other in tractor racing, sheep shearing and even Yorkshire pudding eating contests.

The Lady Katherine Philips Trophy was awarded to Brandesburton YFC, with second place going to Skirlaugh YFC and third to Beacon YFC.

County chair of the East Riding Federation of Young Farmers, James Kennedy, said: “It was brilliant. The committee that organised it did a really good job and the weather was great.

“Every club in the county looks forward to the event over the year.

“The Young Farmers’ Club gains you so much confidence, and you learn so much for being a part of it.”

Each club was tasked with creating a jubilee bus which were pitted against each other in a race.

“I really hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did,” said rally chairman Rachael Walshaw.

“It was a very special rally this year as it was 25 years ago it was last held at Cawkeld Farm. A big thank you to our sponsors Bishop Burton College and to the Flint family for the venue.

“We were really pleased with all the clubs and a big well done to all clubs - they worked really hard.”

The county clubs are: Beacon, Brandesburton, Bainton, Beverley, Bridlington, Driffield, Goole, Howden, Market Weighton, Muston, Newport, Patrington, Skirlaugh, South Axholme and Thorngumbald.
