THE Ceiriog Valley Sheepdog Trials and Show has been hailed a resounding success.

Secretary Katie Harold praised competitors, both two and four legged, following the successful edition of the annual event.

She said: "An enormous thank you to all the volunteers who work so hard to make the show a success.

"When the sun is shining, and Tal y Garth fields are full of smiling faces all the hard work feels worthwhile and the whole spirit of the day is a testament to the tremendous teamwork that pulls it all together."
