MEMBERS of Pembrokeshire YFC were in fine voice in November for the annual public speaking competitions which culminated in the vociferous members of South Pembrokeshire YFC recapturing a trophy which has eluded the club for 36 years.

The performances by the club's four public speaking teams secured the Brownslate trophy for the first time since 1971.

The club's winning intermediate and junior speaking teams led the way with the senior and junior reading teams placed third in their competitions, held over two weeks in November.

As well as taking two titles, South Pembrokeshire YFC also grabbed an impressive haul of individual trophies.

There was a double win for Daniel James who was named best chairman in junior reading and best proposer of the vote of thanks in the junior speaking.

The intermediate team of Matthew Palmer, Fay Brickell and Rachael Hughes also took home the cup for the best panel.

Brawdy YFC was second in the race for the best club overall in all public speaking competitions, with Llysyfran third.
