0:00:02 > 0:00:03It's grand final day.
0:00:03 > 0:00:08Our four teams from Scotland, Northern Ireland, England
0:00:08 > 0:00:12and Wales have battled it out over a series of epic matches.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16The two highest scoring teams have fought their way to
0:00:16 > 0:00:18a place in the grand final.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21This is the moment we've all been waiting for.
0:00:21 > 0:00:26As today, Team Northern Ireland take on Team England in the final
0:00:26 > 0:00:30showdown to become Ultimate Sports Day champions.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Let the Games begin.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59On today's Ultimate Sports Day grand final,
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Team England go head to head with Team Northern Ireland.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Captaining Team Northern Ireland, we have Andrew.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13And the rest of their team. Thomas, Sarah, and Phoebe.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16CHEERING
0:01:16 > 0:01:20And make some big noise for their mentor. He packs a punch.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Former boxing champion of the world, Barry McGuigan!
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Barry McGuigan, a boxing superstar,
0:01:29 > 0:01:33won gold as an amateur in the Commonwealth Games, when he was 17.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37And went on to win the British, European and world titles as a pro.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Representing Team England, it's their captain, Allard!
0:01:41 > 0:01:46Followed by Shanice, Leo and Emily.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50And please welcome their mentor.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53He's won medals at world and Commonwealth level,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56the Dean Machine. Dean Macey.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Dean is one of England's most successful athletes,
0:02:02 > 0:02:06having competed for over ten years in the decathlon,
0:02:06 > 0:02:10and winning gold for England at the 2006 Commonwealth Games.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13They're all set. Let's get this show on the road.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20There's a twist to the flagpole in the final.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Things were getting a bit too predictable.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25So before our USD-ers climb up and down this pole,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28grabbing all the rings in the process,
0:02:28 > 0:02:32we have roped in their team mates to do a spot of rowing.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34The 200 metre sprint will light up the tower
0:02:34 > 0:02:37and only can will they race for pole position.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39That's why we call it the Punishment Pole.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Let's see if our mentors have chosen well.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Allard, I'm going to put you on.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- You were the best rower on the first day.- Yeah.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I need you to try and gain us a few seconds.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55On this particular event, one second can make or break us.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58My name's Allard. I'm 15. I'm from West Cumbria.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01My speciality is hockey.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04If I had to describe myself in three ways, it would be determined,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07team player, and perfectionist.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Emily, let me tell you, you jump off better
0:03:10 > 0:03:13and get up that pole quicker than anyone else.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18My name's Emily. I'm 13 years old. I come from Tavistock in Devon.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20My sporting speciality is triathlon.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23My sporting hero is Alistair Brownlee.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25The Punishment Pole is a flag pole.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29I'm going to pick you, Sarah, to go up and down the pole.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I'm Sarah Strawbridge. I'm 14.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35I'm from County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37My speciality is artistic gymnastics.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40My sporting hero is Nastia Liukin.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44You go first, then Sarah goes up and jumps off at the end.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47My name is Andrew. I'm 14 years old.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I live in Hillsborough, Northern Ireland.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50My speciality is athletics.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53If I were to describe myself in three words,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55it would be competitive, messy and loud.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Allard and Emily, Sarah and Andrew,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02your challenge starts on the fourth and final beep.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Let's play Punishment Pole!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07CHEERING
0:04:07 > 0:04:10This is a game of two parts,
0:04:10 > 0:04:14the first is a 200 metre rowing race between Allard for England
0:04:14 > 0:04:16and Andrew for Northern Ireland.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21Dean and Barry had picked their bigger boys and smaller girls,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23so it could be close. Very evenly matched at the moment.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28Allard perhaps just ahead by a fraction on the row.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Andrew's creeping back.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Dean is yelling like crazy at Allard,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35he can see how close this is.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Emily is waiting for Allard to finish.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44He's slipped off the seat! He has to row the last few metres
0:04:44 > 0:04:46with just his arms. He's done it!
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Emily can now race up that pole.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Andrew finished too, so off goes Sarah.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53This is the second part of the game.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Emily and Sarah have to grab a ring from the top of the flagpole
0:04:56 > 0:04:59and hand it to their mentors on the ground.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Steady, Emily and Sarah, up there!
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Emily's got the first of her two rings.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10So has Sarah, making sure she is steady before she comes back down.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Emily returns to solid ground, hands Dean the ring,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16and she's off again.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Sarah hands over to Barry.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22But there's a gap opening up between her and Emily
0:05:22 > 0:05:23as she climbs up once more.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Emily is at the very top again
0:05:26 > 0:05:29and reaches for the ring. Sarah has made up some ground.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Emily's got the ring and Dean's ecstatic.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Sarah has her second ring. Can she catch Emily?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Emily hands over ring number two and off she goes again.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43One last climb for her.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Sarah's at the bottom, on her way up,
0:05:45 > 0:05:48but Emily's just got to get to the top.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52She grabs her team's colours and leaps to victory!
0:05:52 > 0:05:53CHEERING
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Let us hear it for Team England!
0:06:00 > 0:06:05Awesome staff. Bring it in, guys.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Emily, you couldn't have dreamt of a better start.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10The colours of England draped behind you.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14It was really good. Allard got us the lead, which was really helpful.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16We worked well as a team.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Allard, how was that for you? It was neck and neck, but you got ahead.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I was quite disappointed, cos I fell off the seat.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27It was annoying, but it pushed me, made me go faster.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31I just kept on pulling.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Coming off was disappointing. - Dean, what were you telling them
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- before the start of the event?- I told Allard not to come off the seat!
0:06:37 > 0:06:38LAUGHTER
0:06:38 > 0:06:41But he did it with 15 metres to go
0:06:41 > 0:06:45and he did the right thing. He didn't panic or try to get back on.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48We know today is going to be a very tough competition.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Those two guys over there were fantastic. It's not over yet.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55You've got a maximum 30 points. Let's hear it for Team England!
0:06:55 > 0:06:57CHEERING
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Two rings for Sarah and Andrew mean Northern Ireland pick up 10,
0:07:01 > 0:07:05but Allard and Emily get a bonus for winning, so they get 30.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08England off to a perfect start.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Ahead of ours is 150 metres. An Olympic sprinter can cover this
0:07:18 > 0:07:23in about 15 seconds. Can our two nations run the length of it
0:07:23 > 0:07:26before The Chaser tracks them down?
0:07:26 > 0:07:31If they do, they pick up points. But if The Chaser beats them,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33they are out of the game.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37All we need now is The Chaser.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47The Chaser's his name, chasing is his game.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50That's pretty much all we know about this guy.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55One last race against The Chaser for the girls in this grand final.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Taking to the starting blocks are:
0:08:04 > 0:08:08And here comes the ultimate dream wrecker.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10It's The Chaser.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15It doesn't get any easier for the athletes at the Grand Final.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Their head start over The Chaser has been cut back.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Get set!
0:08:22 > 0:08:26And they're off. When they raced earlier, Shanice took the honours.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29The other two girls got caught by The Chaser.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34Coming round, it looks like Emily and Sarah are in immediate danger.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Emily has been overtaken, no points for her. Can Sarah outrun him?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Shanice it is in front, followed by Phoebe.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42The Chaser's caught Sarah. She'll score nothing.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45It's down to Phoebe and Shanice to bring home the points.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Shanice wins.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Does Phoebe beat The Chaser? It's close.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51But The Chaser caught up with Emily and Sarah
0:08:51 > 0:08:54and scuppered their hopes of picking up points.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59He set his sights on Phoebe. Slo-mo shows he caught her on the line.
0:08:59 > 0:09:05So, who sprinted up the leader board in our first Chaser run today?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Shanice's best time yet!
0:09:09 > 0:09:12She's the only one to earn any points.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Scores now stand at 10 to Northern Ireland and 40 to England.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23By now, you know our USD-ers will catch a ball
0:09:23 > 0:09:24and throw it in the hoop.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Ooh!
0:09:26 > 0:09:29And shoot it in the goal.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33All the while getting more and more dizzy.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36A lot to think about here, isn't there?
0:09:37 > 0:09:43You, Thomas. Spin Shot. Half basketball and half football.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48My name is Thomas. I'm 12 years old. I'm from Comber in Northern Ireland.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50My speciality sport is rugby.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52If I had to describe myself in three words,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55It would be sporty, outgoing and bossy.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- Shanice, can you do it for us? - Yeah.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I know you can come through. Put it in.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Who are we? - ALL: England!
0:10:04 > 0:10:07My name's Shanice. I'm 14 years old. I live in East London.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10My speciality is basketball.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14My sporting hero would have to be Usain Bolt.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18First, spinning for glory for Team Northern Ireland, it's Thomas!
0:10:18 > 0:10:20CHEERING
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Let's play Spin Shot!
0:10:26 > 0:10:30This is a demanding game requiring agility and accuracy.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Thomas hurls that ball at the net but misses.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38He tries a shot, which goes in. Three points for each goal.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Thomas is off the mark.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40A bit more of a pause.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Barry telling Thomas to take his time,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Thomas fires that one in for another three points.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47He leaps over and shoots.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51That one misses. Back around to the goal.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Another great strike. Thomas clearly prefers
0:10:53 > 0:10:56the football side to this game.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59He's missed. Can he get back amongst the points with another goal?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Yes, he can. 12 points so far.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08Can he get a basket? No. Barry still there, willing him on.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12He hasn't missed a single goal. If only he could match those shots
0:11:12 > 0:11:15with his hoop throwing. Another miss!
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Barry keeps telling him to slow down, but he isn't listening.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Listen to your mentor, Thomas. The guy's a legend.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Finally, a basket. There we go.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Time for another goal?
0:11:26 > 0:11:31Yes! That's 24 points in total. A great round for Thomas.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33CHEERING
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Can national basketball player Shanice
0:11:43 > 0:11:44do any better for England?
0:11:44 > 0:11:49A great star for Dean's team. 3 points on the very first hoop.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51A first strike at the goal goes high.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54She jumps the beam and shoots, but that one misses.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Back to the goal, she lines up a strike.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Oh, she takes a tumble. She's quickly back on her feet
0:12:00 > 0:12:03and lining up for another shot at the basket.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Unlucky!
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Dean knows how hard this game is.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10A bit low, no goal here.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Go, go! Come on!
0:12:12 > 0:12:14She launches another one in the air, but it just misses.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18This is not the sort of basketball Shanice is used to playing.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Finally she finds the back of the net.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Another three points, taking her total to six.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Correction, make that nine.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Just a few seconds left on the clock. Can she score a goal?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32No, that one's high and time is up.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35CHEERING
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Thomas, you nailed those footballs, didn't you?
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Yeah. It was really hard, because they're just coming round.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47- My basketball skills aren't as good as my football ones.- Don't say that!
0:12:47 > 0:12:51You did brilliantly. 24 points for Team Northern Ireland.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Shanice, nine points for England. Let's see the scoreboards.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Shanice scores nine points
0:12:57 > 0:12:59and Thomas picks up 24.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Overall, Northern Ireland have 34 points and England still lead on 49.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05That's no consolation to a gutted Shanice.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I need you to focus on the relay. Let me tell you, mate,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11if you do what you did yesterday on the bike,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13we'll win the relay, all right?
0:13:13 > 0:13:17You were smashing yesterday, the best I've seen anyone do it.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- All right? Yeah?- Yeah.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Emily, Leo, you're the only ones I can see who can challenge her.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29We're banking on these points.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32It's not a big point scoring event.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Hopefully, I'll keep up with Emily today.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40My name's Leo. I'm 13, I'm from Essex. My speciality is judo.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45My sporting hero is going to have to be Dean Macey.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Then we've got the hang bar.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Phoebe, you and Sarah are going to be doing that.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54My name is Phoebe. I'm 13. I'm from Belfast, Northern Ireland.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57My speciality is the high jump.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00If I had to describe myself in three words,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03it would be fun, sporty and determined.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06As this ring rises to the roof,
0:14:06 > 0:14:10our USD-ers will have to put mind over matter, and just hold on.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Whoever lasts the longest, picks up maximum points for their country.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Let's play Hang Bar!
0:14:16 > 0:14:17CHEERING
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Strength and control are the name of the game here.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27The hang bar slowly rises into the air,
0:14:27 > 0:14:31and our athletes have to hold on for as long as possible.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Sounds easy. But I assure you, it's not.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Focus on yourself, all right?
0:14:36 > 0:14:3815 seconds have elapsed.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40And all of these grand finalists know what's at stake here.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44They've all played this game before. Both teams have good track records.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Emily, in fact, is unbeaten on Hangbar still.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50BARRY: Nice and relaxed, Phoebe.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Relaxed all the way.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55As they hit 30 seconds, the hang bar continues to rise.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57All they can do is focus,
0:14:57 > 0:14:59and concentrate as hard as possible on not letting go.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Barry and Dean are trying to keep their guys' minds in the zone.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07I'm not sure shouting is the way to keep them focused.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09As they reach the 45-second mark,
0:15:09 > 0:15:11none of them is giving anything away.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14If they are tiring, they're not showing it yet.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Remember, first one to fall gets nothing. Next one gets five points.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Third to drop gets 10 points. And the winner gets 20 points.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25So, lots at stake here, as we hit 60 seconds.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29The hang bar has stopped rising. Now, we just wait.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Their arms will be in agony now, as will their hands,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36as they desperately try to keep a grip.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40As we approach the 75 second mark, still no sign of anyone giving up.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Although Phoebe looks like she's in pain.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Now Leo is starting to squirm.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47You stay there, Leo!
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Leo is definitely feeling the strain now. His face says it all.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54How much longer can he last?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56And Leo has gone! He's had enough.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Emily is still in it for England, but she's starting to wriggle now.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Is her undefeated run about to end?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05You're doing great, Sarah. Doing great, Phoebe.
0:16:05 > 0:16:10Phoebe and Sarah, still holding on for Northern Ireland
0:16:10 > 0:16:11as we hit 105 seconds.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Hold on, Phoebe!
0:16:14 > 0:16:16And Sarah can take no more, she falls.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19And still wins five points for Northern Ireland.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20It's just Phoebe and Emily left now.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Who will win this incredible battle?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Oh, and Phoebe has gone.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Emily, triumphant again!
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Let's hear it for Emily!
0:16:29 > 0:16:32CHEERING
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Emily, come on round. That was absolutely fantastic.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39The more you do Hang Bar, does it get any easier?
0:16:39 > 0:16:43No, not at all. When you're going up, you feel the pain straightaway.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45When you're hanging, it just gets worse.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Phoebe. Just pipped there to the post.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I saw that you were really focused this time.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Yeah. I just wanted to get right up there and hold on as long as I can,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57just for the team. But your hands hurt so bad.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59It's awful pain.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Let's see who hung the highest digits on the scoreboard,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04and have gone that one bit closer
0:17:04 > 0:17:06to bagging the Ultimate Sports Day trophy
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Emily's win means 20 points for England.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12But Northern Ireland score 15 points for second and third.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16In the grand final, England lead 69 to Northern Ireland's 49.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26Right. That's not how it's done.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29But, which of our ultimate sportsters will our mentors
0:17:29 > 0:17:31pick to play Bungee Basketball?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Bungee basketball. This is a skills event.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38I'm not putting pressure on you, I want you to have fun.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41But be very serious when you're playing. We can do it.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I can guarantee Andrew for Northern Ireland is going to be in there.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46He's been nigh on faultless.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Allard, you've been nigh on faultless as well, all right?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52So it's down to you, both. Will do. Will do.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Aiming for the five.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Right, Andrew, Allard, let's play Bungee Basketball!
0:17:58 > 0:18:00CHEERING
0:18:02 > 0:18:04This is a game of strength and endurance.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Allard versus Andrew, and they both score with their very ball.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11The highest hoops are worth five points.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13The boys are concentrating on those. Andrew gets another.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17And Allard drops one in two. Andrew going for the hat-trick.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Gets it. And Allard does the same. This is going to be very close.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Both these boys have scored highly in Bungee Basketball before.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27And they are matching each other hoop for hoop, now.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29That's five baskets each.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Neither of these boys wants to lose to the other.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35And they score hoop number six.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37They carried on for some time.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Andrew and Allard slam dunking their way from hoop to hoop.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45There was nothing between them as the points racked up.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47But then the fatigue hit home.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Allard was the first to show signs of weariness,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52missing a couple of easy baskets.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Andrew also felt the strain. As the game neared its climax,
0:18:55 > 0:18:57there were only three hoops separating the two.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Allard closed the gap from 22 to 24.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Then, much to the team's excitement, pulled it back to just one basket.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07With 10 seconds to go, it couldn't have been much closer,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10as Allard and Andrew fought to the bitter end.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Ultimately, it was Andrew who was victorious by just one basket.
0:19:13 > 0:19:18And Barry was clearly a happy man.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21CHEERING
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Know what? Forget the athletes, I need a rest!
0:19:25 > 0:19:27All those baskets
0:19:27 > 0:19:29mean 125 points to Allard,
0:19:29 > 0:19:31and 130 to Andrew.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33The gap's closing.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49So, it looks like The Chaser is ready to chase once again.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53But can he reach this finish line before our chaps?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Well, we are about to find out.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58If these guys ever wanted to pick up points against The Chaser,
0:19:58 > 0:19:59now is the time.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Taking to their positions are:
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Forget Usain Bolt, here comes the real demon of speed.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16It's The Chaser!
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- Set!- And they're off.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Andrew, Thomas and Allard have never been caught.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Leo's had the misfortune of being picked off once before.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30That's a mistake he'll want to rectify.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34As they come out of the bend, The Chaser's gaining. Andrew's in front.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Thomas in second and Leo in third. Allard's going to be caught.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Oh, he gets his first taste of the Chaser's grasp.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Leo has been caught too. Disaster for England.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Just what Northern Ireland need in this grand final.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Andrew never looked in danger at the front of the pack,
0:20:49 > 0:20:53but Allard and Leo weren't quick enough today to avoid The Chaser.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56He passed them with ease and nearly took Thomas too. Wow!
0:21:01 > 0:21:05I just thought, he's just beaten us. And being a good sportsman,
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I just tried to say well done to him really.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Friendly rivalry from Allard, but The Chaser is friends with no-one.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15So, the race is over, time to update our scoreboard.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Andrew's storming time of 17.68 seconds
0:21:18 > 0:21:20wins him 10 points,
0:21:20 > 0:21:21along with team mate Thomas.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Nothing for England, though.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26So, going into the final game...
0:21:26 > 0:21:29For the first time today, Northern Ireland lead with 199.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34The final relay. It's all that stands between victory and defeat.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37And it all starts fast, on bike power.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40A 200-metre sprint powers the lights on our towers.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Then, we initiate the Skywalker.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Our USD-ers will start all the way at the bottom, make their way
0:21:46 > 0:21:49up the five metres, across the beam, and collect all the rings they can,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52before making their way down the ladder.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Then, time to get a sprint on, all the way over to the bungee tower.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00And they'll bungee like they've never bungeed before.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01And collect all three rings.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06Not before they've done that will our cyclists sprint one last time
0:22:06 > 0:22:09over the bike power, for one last 200 metres.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13And then, it's our last event. The flagpole.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15One last climb for pole position.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16Who can collect the rings
0:22:16 > 0:22:19and pull down the flag bearing their team's colours?
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Will it be Northern Ireland? Will it be England? It's time to find out.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Are you confident in your own ability? At the end of the day,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29I really think you could be USD champions.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33It's the one we can win. We really can.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- OK? You up for it? - ALL: Yes.- Good. Let's rock and roll.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41We know we can beat them inside. We just have to go out and show them.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44We know what they're like. They're a good opposition.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46With a bit more confidence, we can do it.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48We're determined to do our best.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51We need to concentrate more, and be more confident within ourselves,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53because I think we can do it.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Failure's not an option, definitely.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59After weeks of waiting, it's all come down to this.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01With only five points between the teams,
0:23:01 > 0:23:04we couldn't have dreamt of a closer grand final.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06HE MOUTHS
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Never before has it been so crucial
0:23:08 > 0:23:11that Barry and Dean match their team's individual abilities
0:23:11 > 0:23:15to the right leg of the relay.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23This is it.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28On the fourth and final beep, let's play the final relay.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30CHEERING
0:23:30 > 0:23:33So, it's come down to this.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35England versus Northern Ireland, in the grand final.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Whoever wins this Ring Relay will be crowned
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Ultimate Sports Day champions.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Shanice for England, against Thomas from Northern Ireland,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46on the first leg, the 200m cycle race.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49It's very close so far, with Thomas just edging out in front.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51None of these athletes will want to let their teams down,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53so they will all be giving it 100%.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Thomas gets there first. He leaps off the bike to tag Sarah.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Shanice is right behind him, and she tags Leo.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Sarah and Leo race up the Skywalker Towers.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Leo's pulled ahead of Sarah.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08He grabs the rope and tries to drag himself onto the beam.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13Leo's up, and he works his way towards the first of 11 rings
0:24:13 > 0:24:15that need to be collected along this course.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17He's got them. He grabs the first two.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19They're worth five points each.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24the team that finishes first gets an extra 50 points.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27So, both teams know they have to win this relay to be sure of victory.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Sarah's got her two rings now. Leo is on his way down the ladder.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Gymnast Sarah catching up, as Leo gets caught up on the ladder.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43Leo grabs the next ring, as does Sarah. This is extremely close.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47They've got all the rings and need to tag their team mates.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Leo tags Shanice while he's on the floor.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51She sprints off. Sarah tags Thomas.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54He follows in hot pursuit. It's bungee time now.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Allard's got his first ring of three.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Andrew launches into play. We know how good these two are at bungee.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Allard's got his next ring. And here comes Andrew
0:25:02 > 0:25:04after his second ring as well.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Allard takes his third. And Andrew is right behind him.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Shanice and Thomas can race back to their bikes,
0:25:09 > 0:25:13and begin another 200-metre cycle sprint.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Shanice is first on the bike, and off she goes.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Thomas is in the saddle now. Can he catch up?
0:25:20 > 0:25:21Thomas really going for it.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24He knows he was quicker than Shanice earlier.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26So he's really pumping the pedals now.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29But Shanice isn't going to make it easy for him.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31She's got the lead, and she wants to keep it.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Dean will be so proud, but who will finish first?
0:25:35 > 0:25:37It's Shanice, she dives off the bike and tags Emily.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Just as Thomas finishes, and tags Phoebe.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43So it's between Emily and Phoebe.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Emily is shinning up that pole, grabbing the rings.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Phoebe's not far behind. It's Emily that leads.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Dean's team, England, are the Ultimate Sports Day champions!
0:25:53 > 0:25:56CHEERING
0:26:00 > 0:26:02So, 50 points for Northern Ireland.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05For all 11 rings, plus 50 points for winning,
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Makes it 105 England. That means England beat Northern Ireland
0:26:09 > 0:26:11by 299 to 249.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Team England, you are the Ultimate Sports Day champions!
0:26:15 > 0:26:18CHEERING
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Congratulations.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Will you please welcome two great champions themselves,

0:27:00 > 0:27:03with the honours for the winners. And what worthy champions they are.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Captained by Allard. Awesome on the bungee, he led by example.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12Shanice, with her pedal power. The engine behind the team.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17Leo. The force was strong in this one on the Skywalker.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20And Emily, with her head for heights.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Always the England flag bearer.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27Not forgetting their mentor, Dean Macey, the Dean Machine.
