Bun Eating Contest


Can you spot the cheat in this greedy contest?

Welcome to the world of competitive eating. Watch the young men of Rathfriland stuff their faces with childish delight. Luckily for the squeamish, Ulster Television captured the sights but left behind the sounds of our munching contestants. These rushes might not have made it to the news however they give a delightful glimpse of the town at play.
