"Everyone got their sacks?" spoke Luke, smiling cheekily at his colleagues as they nodded, getting down on the grass. The race had been set in the old fashioned way, where you had to lie on the sack before jumping to your feet as it started. "Alright then, Ready…Steady… GOO!"
The crowd watched cheering and chuckling at the four flailing about on the field, none of them seemed to be able to get up properly. Nina was the first to wriggle into hers and stand up, before sneakily helping up Kelsey to her feet. Charlie and Harry however, weren't in such good shape. Charlie looked remarkably like a fish out of water and Harry, well he wasn't in an any better position.
"Kelsey's off thanks to her fellow Youf Nina, their now haring it down the track, suffering no competition from the two oldies not even in their sacks yet! Come on Harry! Charlie!"
As Luke was too busy laughing at the pair, he didn't notice Maggie and Josh rushing onto the starting line and helping their fellow team mates up to their feet.
"And what's this? The Oldies have drafted in helpers! I don't know whether this is allowed but anyway, on with the race!"
"Yous looked like you needed our assistance." whispered Maggie winking at Josh.
"And you know us, always on hand! No! Go win the race!" laughed Josh as he and Maggie left the two men to hop.
Nina and Kelsey had also been laughing at the two men and booing at Nathan's decision not to disqualify the Oldies, and were caught of guard as Charlie and Harry suddenly started to make for the finish line.
"And Harry's gone down, oh and Nina's had to dodge out of the way! Will she regain her lead? Neither of them look like their going to manage to get up, is it left to Kelsey and Charlie to battle it out with there only being a few meters left in the race!"
Kelsey was about a foot behind Charlie as he crossed, or rather, fell over the finish line. Josh and the rest of The Oldies jumped up punching the air with their fists and laughing at Maggie's, "Typical." comment before she joined in laughing with the rest of the crowd.
"Well, that was the sack race ladies and gentlemen. The winner being Charlie for The Oldies! Which leaves it at an even break in the points so far with The Youfs having won one and The Oldies also!" echoed Nathan as the competitors headed back to their teams and the crowd waited eagerly on the next race details.
