HELD at the Howe of Fife Rugby Club, last Sunday, the East Region senior speechmaking competition saw the two teams, East Fife JAC and Kinross JAC, both qualify for the national final to be held at the national competitions' weekend, in Elgin, at the end of the month.

Both teams put on a good display, with the format being chairman, speaker, question master, and proposer of the vote of thanks.

But it was East Fife's Sarah Dawson, Matt Waldie, Robbie Brown and Lianne Brunton, that took the top spot with some stylish debating.

Kinross team members, David Nelson, David Lawrie, Angus Nelson and Andrew Stevenson, finished second.
