Hartland YFC team, representing the Torridge district, won the final of the junior (under 21) quiz of Devon Federation of Young Farmers’ Clubs held at Exeter.
They scored 81½ points and the runners-up, Bow, had 79 points.
Thus Hartland become the first holders of the newly presented J Wesley Wilton Challenge Cup.
By coincidence, Hartland and Bow were winners and runners-up at the northern area final held at Alwington last week. This was the second year of this competition.
The Hartland team, photographed at Alwington above, consisted of Ann Goaman, Ann Major, David Walter, Gerald Williams and John Cottle.
