YFC News: Members pull together to beat Guinness World Record

Over 100 Wales YFC members made their way down to Cefn Sidan beach in Carmarthenshire to celebrate St David's Day a little differently.

Their record attempt was successful, and a new Guinness World Record title was set for the Longest Distance Game of Tug of War. The existing record to beat was 365 metres which was reset at 516.35 metres (1694 ft) by the federation. 

The record was set on the beach

Wearing red rugby shirts, YFC merchandise and daffodil hats the young farmers came together to attempt the Longest Distance game of Tug of War on the longest beach in Wales.

Members were cheered on by team their captains, Wales rugby legends Scott Quinnell and Elinor Snowsill.

It was Elinors team who came out on top, but everyone who took part on the day were winners.

The attempt was part of numerous record-breaking activities Welsh language broadcaster S4C recorded to celebrate St David's Day which airs on April, 1st.
