The 2013 All Wales Striking Competition for the J Arthur Hoare Memorial Trophy was held at Sully and Penarth on Saturday September 28th 2013.
A lovely, sunny afternoon saw some good ringing for the judges, Matthew Tosh and Robert Convey, to get their teeth into.
Speaking of which, thanks to the ringers of Sully and Penarth for hosting the day's events and for providing refreshments and tea during the day.
After considering their verdicts, and a recount after they realised that the teams didn't ring in the same order in the 6-Bell and 8-Bell sections 
, the results were as follows:
