Scores still level after next two events...Chariot Racing and Road Building

065 Greenfingers Challenge 2015 - Roman Games at Chester .jpg

There were plenty of spills and thrills in the Chariot Racing, won by the Cabbages team, and a little more finesse and less brute strength in the Road Building, won by Pansies...

The Chariot Racing was a relay of five laps where one member of the team had to pull a 'chariot' containing another member but it soon became clear that Cabbages would triumph, and at one point they overtook the Pansies chariot.

Road Building involved blingfolded members of each team laying a path of slabs in a straight line.
