Crossroads YFC worked their magic to become the winners of this year's West Regional Talent Spot, in front of a packed crowd in the SECC's Armadillo venue in Glasgow.
The annual competition – a firm favourite in the SAYFC calendar – brings together representatives from young farmers teams from all four districts in the West to compete in a 10-minute showcase performance, where creativity is encouraged and marks are awarded in areas such as entertainment value, costumes, choreography and variety.
