Boys South West Festival 2022

This event has last time been organized by the South West region in 2019.Our boys have been preparing for this event for the last few months and everyone was looking forward to it.

Five of our boys where going to make the journey to Barnstaple and compete in the Under 10 and Under 12 Compulsory section of the festival. This is a level where gymnasts compete on all six apparatus, Floor, Pommel Horse, Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars and High Bar.

All boys showed great composure during the event, especially considering the lack of competition experience caused by the lack of events over the last two years.

At the end of a challenging event we where pleased to see some great display of gymnastics from our gymnasts , culminating with Daniel winning the Gold medal on Rings in the Under 10 years old and Zack with Gold on Floor in the Under 12 years old.

We are very proud of all our gymnasts and are looking forwards to see them participate in future events.

Well Done Boys!!!
