YSGOL Saron are down to the final 10 in a Christmas carol competition.

A Christmas carol composed by Mrs Karen Evans and lyrics written jointly by Mrs Evans and Mrs Gwenda Easton has been selected to be one of the 10 finalists in a competition held by the Welsh television programme ‘Prynhawn Da’.

This is a popular competition and every year many schools from across Wales compete.

The school's entry is called, ‘Brenin yr Holl Fyd’.

One carol is broadcasted daily during the afternoon programme and Saron School’s entry is being shown on television on Tuesday, December 11.

However, there will be another opportunity to hear the carol, as there will be two programmes dedicated to the competition on Wednesday, December 19 and Friday, December 21 at 7:30pm.

The winner will be announced during Friday evening’s programme.

A spokesperson for the school said: "We are already very proud of the choir’s achievement and any further success will be a bonus."
