Cubs Challenge 2017

Seven teams from Long Buckby, Braunston and 4th Daventry

went head to head at the Mayfield Sports and Social Club for the District part of this event.

The challenge took on a different slant this year, instead of question rounds, the young people had to do various bases – picture puzzle’s, Kims Game, Lego, Floor puzzle and Logo’s were just some of the brain teasers faced by the Teams.

The Scores were very close with seven teams gaining from 148 – 175.5.

The overall winners were Long Buckby (Football Freestylers) and in second place Long Buckby (R Group)

These two teams will now go forward to represent Daventry in the County Challenge to be held in Wellingborough on March 4th.

Congratulations to all teams and good luck Long Buckby in Wellingborough
