15:00 to 16:30 shots:

Ba' went up at approx 16:00 - won by Dave Flett who won Boys' Ba' in 1982

 

The large pack enters Victoria Street

The narrow entry to Victora Street
was filled by the scrum and spectators

The Uppie pressure was relentless

Doonies attempt to halt the upwards progress

Uppies blocking a lane to prevent a Doonie break

Bruce's Stores did a thriving trade in soup and sandwiches

Almost at the limit of the digital camera

Again the Doonies rally

Almost at Union Street

Main Street

The pack surges across Main Street

There was a huge crowd of spectators

Outside the West End Hotel

Finally the corner is reached about 4pm

Winner Davy Flett is hoisted up with his ba' by jubilant Uppies

Davy Flett with his two ba's - only a
few have achieved this double success.
