AN impromptu team proved a winning combination when a trio of youngsters tested their prowess at the recent Bedale and West of Yore minimus tetrathlon.
Alastair Weymouth, aged eight, of Cumberland Farmers, Tom Carr, nine, of South Durham, and Ivo Thomas, eight, of Bedale, made up the extra team against their own friends at Londonderry earlier this month.
They had to swim, shoot ten bullets, run 800 metres and ride cross-country on their ponies to become the winning minimus boys team.
"Although they didn't know each other before, they cheered each other on," said Mrs Alyson Carr. "They were good sports."
Tom took first place followed by Alastair and then Ivo in the individual prizes
