The jousting in Raisting was once again great fun.

By the way, impressions are deceptive: the women's team was really good!

This year, the team from Bauerbach, who competed under the name "Fuiznbuam Bauraboch", fulfilled their long-cherished dream of winning the traditional fisherman's jousting on the landscape pond, to which the Raistinger boys' association traditionally invites on the Assumption Day.

Raisting

- The squad had reached three semifinals and one final in previous years, finishing second, third and fourth.

This year she was the winner for the first time, so she was able to take the challenge cup with her - even though her performance in handling the boat left a lot to be desired.

Twice they sank the barge and had to tow it swimming to the shore, where, with the help of spectators, they turned it around for drainage due to the lack of a bilge pump in order to get it afloat again.

While the engravers largely mastered their work and quickly pushed each other into the water, the performance of the rowers often left a lot to be desired.

Among other things, the announcer had to explain to them over loudspeakers how to make a right turn and that you cannot reach the dock on the east bank by driving west - all to the amusement of the around 300 visitors who followed the spectacle from the south bank , where the boys' club treated them to grilled food and coffee and cake.

Vouchers for the wine festival of the boys' association as a prize

The “Musician Girls”, who were the only women's team to register for the competition, proved that not only strength but also skill plays a role.

Although the stabber held the pole almost in the middle and therefore didn't have much reach, she managed to fend off most of the opponent's attacks, which brought the three women up to second place.

The “seitenstecher Sölb” took third place.

This was followed by "Drums", "200 percent carpenter", "Musician Wessobrunn", "Burschenverein Raisting" and "Fischen".

In addition to the certificates, the top three placed also received vouchers that they can redeem at the wine festival of the fraternity.

The festival will be held again this year on September 24th after a forced two-year break.
