On Saturday, about 50 people gathered at the Enfield Domain to celebrate the 145th anniversary of the town, 12km northwest of Oamaru. To celebrate, people took part in sack and barrel racing, perused a dozen stalls and played some tug-o-war. It was no ordinary game of tug-o-war, but an ode to Enfield team that won national championships in 1916 and 1924. Team members (from front) Blair Jopson, Micayla Brenssell, Mark Geypen, Orlando Ruiz Diaz, and Matt Guthrie won the Enfield Tug-o-War tournament. The team of Blair Jopson, Micayla Brenssell, Mark Geypen, Orlando Ruiz Diaz and Matt Guthrie ended up winning the tournament — making a little bit of history of their own.
