The Eastern region was proud to host a successful Young Shepherd event on Saturday 6th September at the Anglia Ruskin University - Writtle College Campus, with a fantastic turnout and strong competition throughout. Congratulations to our top two competitors, Tilly Abbott and Jack Fletcher, who will go on to represent the region at the national finals in July 2026 - a brilliant achievement and a testament to their hard work and skill.

A particularly special moment came when Tilly, the winner, was presented with the trophy dedicated to Cameron Farnan, with the presentation made by Martin Farnan. The event was a great showcase of the enthusiasm and talent among the next generation.

A huge thank you to all the sponsors who made the day possible - your support is truly appreciated and helped create a memorable and inspiring event.
