Once again in 2017, the Dyfed Schools NAS/UWT Cup Final was held at St Thomas Picton School, Haverfordwest - the home of Pembrokeshire Harriers. As it had been over the last few days, the sun was shining and hot conditions, making it difficult at times especially in the middle distance.
Unwaith eto yn 2017, fe wnaeth cystadleuaeth rownd derfynol ysgolion Dyfed NAS/UWT ei gynnal yn Ysgol St Thomas Picton, Hwlffordd - cartref Harriers Sir Benfro. Roedd yr haul yn tywynnu ac yn boeth, gan ei gwneud yn anodd ar adegau yn enwedig dros y pellter hir.
In the Dyfed district over the past month, all four areas (Brianne, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire & Llanelli) hosted an area qualifier with the top two teams sending teams to the big showdown in Pembrokeshire, all aiming to qualify for the Welsh Schools NAS/UWT Finals in Brecon in July.
@CarmsHarriers Your top 3 junior boys 1500m: Frank Morgan @YGGBM Iori Humphreys @PembrokePE Cian Harries @Stp_pe
1 District, 4 Areas, 4 NAS/UWT Cup Qualifiers, 4 Venues...all came down to 1 NAS/UWT Cup Final at Haverfordwest with thirty two teams in action across four age groups.
JUNIOR: Under 14, on 31st August (Years 7 and 8)
MIDDLE: Under 16, on 31st August (Years 9 and 10)
During the day there were several great races and performances with a number of the best athletes from the Dyfed district out on show.
Looking at the team scores which decided who would go forward, several categories came down to the last race - the relay time trials. Two age groups in particular saw only a single point separate the two schools just showing how tight it was right to the very end!
The event programme was over three hours with the first event at 11.30am and the final relay concluding the day's action by 2.30pm. The competition got started with the sprint hurdles and was followed on by the 1500m, 200m, 300m, 100m, 800m & 4 x 100m Relay while on the field the javelin, shot, long jump, high jump and triple jump was contested (discus was cancelled due to the cage being unsafe)
Once the races were over, the presentations of winners and runners-up letters were announced by Hedydd Davies.  The winning team in each age group will represent the District at the National Cup Final and the runners up in each age group will compete in the National Plate Final at Brecon Athletics Stadium on Thursday 13th July 2017 with 8 teams from 8 districts involved in each competition.
