-..decide, "Yeah, I think I'll take

-this with me," and leaves with it?

-Is that true?

-I was driving down the M4,

-past Reading.

-He said he was gritting.

-In first place,

-Joshua Jones, Brecknock.

-My favourite bird

-We go from the slow and steady

-chicken to these crazy pheasants.

-You'll be driving to work,

-listening to music.

-Just in the distance,

-you can see a pheasant.

-The pheasant clicks and he's like,

-"Car coming. Which way shall I go?

-One of the highlights every year

-is the Chairing of the bard.

-It's a chance

-for the organization to honour...

-..its chief bard or prose writer.

-I want to emphasize

-as I start with the prose...

-..that this was a competition

-of a high standard.

-Many competitors

-were deserving of the Chair.

-I thoroughly enjoyed

-reading the work.

-The story Dal i Aros is two stories

-weaved through each other.

-The story of a girl who lost

-her husband in a modern war...

-..and the story of her

-great-grandmother...

-..who lost her son

-in the First World War.

-There was depth to this subject.

-This is where I found some of the

-competition's best descriptions.

-In touches like "the smell

-of the chapel's silence."

-Or "The sun pierced

-the stained-glass windows...

-.."to create a disco on the tiles."

-Euron Dafydd's Hen Blant Bach

-is a heart-rending story.

-When I started reading this story,

-I thought Elis had kidnapped...

-..a sweet little girl, Marged,

-and kept her against her will.

-But on the third page...

-..I was shocked as I realized

-that Marged was actually his wife.

-We move on now to the poetry.

-Sion Cwilt's poem

-is a tribute to T Llew Jones.

-It's Halloween and the imagination

-creates a fear of werewolves...

-..goblins and witches

-on their broomsticks.

-But then an owl's hoot invites us

-on a journey to a different world.

-A world where Llew

-is still very much present.

-The task facing us was to decide

-who would win the Chair.

-In third place is Dal i Aros,

-for the quality of the writing.

-In a very close second place,

-with praise for a memorable story...

-..Euron Dafydd.

-The winner of the Chair...

-..at the National Young Farmers

-Eisteddfod 2015...

-..with much acclaim

-for such a wonderful poem...

-..is Sion Cwilt.

-Thank you.

-Let it be known that the winner

-of the Eisteddfod Chair...

-..at the National Young Farmers

-Eisteddfod 2015, Sion Cwilt...

-..is Endaf Griffiths

-of Pontsian YFC, Ceredigion.

-Winning the Chair is one of the

-biggest honours at the Eisteddfod.

-I'm joined by the winning bard,

-Endaf Griffiths.

-Endaf, you're originally from

-Carmarthenshire but you've moved.

-Yes, I moved in September.

-Last year, I was in Carmarthenshire.

-I've only crossed the Teifi river,

-so I haven't gone far.

-Carmarthenshire is still

-close to my heart.

-I haven't abandoned them!

-The judges said that you were

-a master of your craft.

-They said everything flowed

-very well.

-Why did you choose T Llew Jones

-as your theme?

-I thought it was timely

-to write about T Llew Jones...

-..as it's the centenary

-of his birth.

-Since the start of the year...

-..I felt that I wanted to make

-some sort of tribute to T Llew.

-I'm doing research work on his

-poetry so that ties in as well.

-I'd always felt that I'd wanted

-to write something creative.

-So, I wrote a poem in strict metre

-to T Llew.

-In addition to writing poetry...

-..you write and perform

-humorous duets.

-Yes, I was lucky enough to win

-the humorous duet twice in a row.

-That was in 2012 and 2013.

-I enjoy doing both.

-Both writing and performing

-give me great pleasure.

-I think they go hand in hand,

-the poet and the performer.

-They're both the same.

-It's clear

-that you're quite talented.

-Both counties

-are proud of you tonight.

-Thank you.

-Congratulations.

-The soloists under 21 performed any

-song of their choice by Robat Arwyn.

-I'll save you and protect you

-in my loving arms."

-Esyllt Thomas from Pembrokeshire

-was second with Ser y Nadolig.

-# The light of God above

-# And in that light we all may see

-# When long ago the Son of Man

-# Was born in one star's light

-# Was born in one star's light #

-In first place, Elen Thomas

-from Carmarthenshire...

-..with O Llefara Addfwyn Iesu.

-# Grant me an assurance clear

-# Banish all my dark misgivings

-# Still my doubting, calm my fear

-# O, my soul within me yearneth

-# Now to hear Thy voice divine

-# So shall grief be gone for ever

-# And despair no more be mine

-# O, my soul within me yearneth

-# Now to hear Thy voice divine

-# So shall grief be gone for ever

-# And despair no more be mine

-# And despair no more be mine #

-# Walking in Mam's shoes

-proved quite a challenge

-# Believe us

-# Oh, we do enjoy

-# And dancing up and down the pole

-# And then doing little tricks

-in our pink frilly knicks

-# Making sure

-that we hide our behind #

-who died for them on the cross #

-The winner was Enlli Lloyd Pugh,
