The world's first sheep dung spitting competition took place on July 15 in Northern Ireland. The strange competition was held as part of the Lake Festival in Irvinestown, County Fermanagh.

Participants were spitting fresh manure collected before the competition. One of the contenders for the title of best manure spitter even had a sheep defecate right in his mouth. The one who spit further won.

Other competitions at the festival were less controversial - sheep shearing and folk dancing competitions.
