Sumo Wrestling

Halifax Round Table hosted the inaugural Area 9 Sumo Wrestling Championships on Thursday 19th April. 20 lads from Ossett and Horbury, Halifax, Batley, Elland and Sitlington Round Tables competed for this prestigious event.

The lads were split into three merit leagues, with a round robin tornament in each league to find the top two fighters. The semi finals then consisted of two groups of 3 teams, with each contender wrestling the other two members of the team to find the two finalists.

Ossett Tablers Karl Ashford and Andrew Steel attempted to bring home the coveted trophy, but unfortunately fell short and did not get through the group stages.

In the final, Kev Leahy (Sitlington RT) demonstrated massive strength and commitment during a tough fight with Andrew Cunnington to become the eventual victor!

Area Ten Bowling

Ossett and Horbury Round Table hosted the Area Ten Pin bowling in Leeds last week - attended also by Elland, Huddersfield Pendragon, Selby and Leyland Round Tables.

Pendragon were in the lead after a strong first round, with Ossett Tabler Alan posting a strong 150+ score. So all it needed was a good second round from another member of Ossett. Step forward James - who has never scored over 100 before but ends up posting a 160+ score. Unbelievable and resulted in Ossett regaining the Area Trophy after 2 years.

Christmas Sleigh

Ossett and Horbury RT complete is annual charity christmas sleigh collection in Horbury on Wednesday 16 December, after starting 6 nights earlier in Ossett. We're currently counting up the money collected and will post details in the new year.

Thank you to the people of Ossett and Horbury for their kind donations.

Go Karting Championship

The annual Ossett and Horbury go karting championship took place on Wednesday evening at Thornes Park, Wakefield. 10 competitors, one 40 minute race, and pre-race favourite Alan was in confident mood, especially after qualifying in first place. Alan won (as usual), with the rest of the drivers unable to overtake John 'Petrov' in second place who was slow but impossible to pass. Ex chairman Karl was looking likely for his highest ever position in third place until Andrew attempted an impossible overtake and took him out, allowing Steve to take third place.

A great evening and we all hope Alan puts on some weight over the next year to slow him down a bit.

Area Quiz round 1

Last night, we played Selby Round Table in the first round of the quiz last night. Venue was the bandstand in Selby Park which was absolutely freezing, followed by a beer and curry. We were eventual winners after being very close in the first few rounds. Thanks to the Selby lads for organising a great night, and to Sid from Elland for being quiz master.

Cosmic Golf

Round Tables from across West Yorkshire joined Ossett and Horbury Round Table at the Cosmic Golf centre at Xscape in September to compete in the Shellmex Trophy - an annual sporting event in Area 9. The winners would be the Table with the lowest average score per team.

The event was won by Huddersfield Pendragon Round Table, with Halifax a close second, and Ossett and Hobury in third place.
