A few new events kept the dab hands on their toes and the newbies much the same. Some excellent jousting, dodging, ducking, sprinting, throwing, balancing, hopping, and diving seen by all the teams who took part over the two days.<\/p>\n<p>Special recognition must go to Estates Allstars on winning the overall women\u2019s competition, and to Record Profit and Happy Ravers for sharing the men\u2019s title. It must be said that Kent Sport secured top points overall for the highest men\u2019s and women\u2019s scored combined.<\/p>\n<p>A huge thanks to all that took part and came along to support.
