Synod Football Tradition Continues

A tradition was continued recently as the Charles Farnsworthy Cup touch football match was played out between city and country on the second last day of the ‪#‎32ndSynod‬.

Both sides were evenly matched with a combination of youth and experience but in the end the country team prevailed over their city counterparts to take out the Cup.



Event organiser Rev Paul Clark says he is always impressed with the quality of players and their application to the task on the field.

“It’s a high standard and great to see the youthful members participating as well, but it's hard to beat the country team, as evidenced by their decade-long dominance of the competition."

Charles Farnsworthy III was conspicuous by his absence from the event named after him.

Try scorers:
Country—Danial King (2), Rev Greg Rankin, Rev Unga Takai
City—Michael Jeffrey, Peter Cranna, Dr Leigh Trevaskis
