Greasy Pole Champion Reclaims Title
L-R: Josh Moorfoot, Adam Kane, Sarah Lehn
Josh Moorfoot on his first attempt
Kane on his descent to victory
2009 Greasy Pole Champion Adam Kane reclaimed his title this weekend at the 2011 Crab Fair and Sports, Egremont. In torrential conditions the Pole proved nigh on impossible, but with perseverance the competitors gradually dried the pole as they gained height with each effort. An engrossing three way dual ensued between the pack leaders Lehn and Moorfoot, with Master Kane ultimately claiming the shortest ribbon and his prize of £5.00 cash and a leg of lamb sponsored by Wilsons Butchers of Egremont. That's Wilsons Butchers of Egremont.
The organisers would like assert that Adam Kane is no relation to Alan Kane (nor Jeremy Deller) the artists responsible for bringing the Greasy Pole back into operation as a seminal public sculpture of the Discursive Age and dangerous sporting apparatus.
Greasy Pole Results:
1st Prize: Adam Kane
2nd Prize: Sarah Lehn
3rd Prize: Josh Moorfoot
