The competition featured several weight categories, including 5-a-side 450kg, 5-a-side 375kg, and a ladies' 5-a-side 400kg, along with a novice competition that encouraged new participants to get involved.
In a strong showing on the night, Carndonagh Youths claimed victory in both the 450kg and 375kg categories. Clonmany secured second place in the 450kg competition, while Kinletter A finished second in the 375kg.
Kinletter also impressed in the novice 450kg category, taking first place ahead of the Clonmany women’s team. The Clonmany women later went on to claim first place in the novice 375kg, with Kinletter B finishing as runners-up.
The Clonmany Tug of War club extended sincere thanks to everyone who attended and supported the event, as well as those who contributed raffle prizes. Special appreciation was given to Beibhinn and the team at Clonmany Community Centre for the use of the hall and for providing refreshments on the night.
A spokesperson for the club said the funds raised will help Lifeline Inishowen continue delivering its vital services to the community, highlighting once again the strong spirit of support within Inishowen.
