A SPLENDID afternoon was spent on Sunday with Easingwold District Lions defending their Challenge Cup against Filey Lions and Malton Lions, with Malton claiming the cup by a narrow margin.

President John Sutherland presented the cup to Lion Jack of Malton Lions and a surprise man of the match medallion to our own Easingwold Lion David Shields.

The afternoon was rounded off with fish’n’chips (optional mushy peas) at the local Wetherby Whaler. Easingwold Lions are already planning a new challenge for next year. We’ll be back!
