2008 4BR Money List

After their victory at the South Wales Miners Eisteddfod in Porthcawl, Tredegar make their mark on the 4BR Money List for 2008.

Money
 

Tredegar’s seventh victory at the contest (they have now won over £8,500 at the contest since 1998) pushes them straight into the top five prize money winners this season.

Second placed Newbridge (Celynen) enter at joint 14th whilst Beaumaris come in just ahead of them at number 13 after they picked up a total of £1,000 — £500 of which was for providing the judges with the most entertaining programme of the day.
