LLANWARNE and District Agricultural Improvement Society went to Clehonger Court for their latest ploughing match.

Secretary Nigel Morris said: "We were a little bit down on numbers, partly I guess because there was a lot of rain around.

"After a storm in the morning it was a lovely sunny day. It ploughed well with good competitions.

"It was a very nice site."

The ploughing match is held at a different site every year and is the biggest event in the society's calender.
