Hard work is rewarded
for local gymnasts
Haverfordwest Gymnastics Club recently took a squad of 5,6 & 7 year olds to compete in the annual West Area Preparation Grades held at the City of Swansea Gymnastics Centre.
This competition is designed to showcase the up and coming talent throughout the west region of Wales. During the run up to this competition, a lot of hard work and dedication had been put in by both gymnasts and coaches in order for them to be able to compete five separate routines on five different pieces of apparatus. This is very testing, especially for children of such a young age and all from HGC were delighted with how well all the gymnasts performed.
The scores were as follows:
Five year olds:
Ffion Canton- 1st Range & Conditioning, 2nd Bars, 4th Tumble, 5th Vault and her combined score resulted in her being placed 2nd OVERALL- Excellent work Ffion!
Seren Holiday- 1st Vault, 2nd Range & Conditioning- 8th Overall
Six year olds:
Lleucu Lloyd- 2nd vault, 7th Floor- Overall 12th.
The 6 year old team consisted of Lleucu Lloyd, Freya Lynch and Molly Harries who all performed superbly in a very strong category and came in at 7th place as a team.
Seven year olds:
Arabella Hurst: 1st Vault, 1st Bars, 3rd Floor, 4th Beam, 6th Range & Conditioning- an overall score which meant she came 2nd overall- an incredible result!
Brooke Evans- 3rd Bars, 4th Vault, 4th R & C, 6th Floor and overall 6th Place, which was great!
The team consisted of Polly Bland, Arabella Hurst & Brooke Evans, with their combined efforts clinched the silver medal as a team.
As coaches & parents the club is very proud of how all the gymnasts performed because for some of them this was their very first competition and they should all be extremely impressed with the routines they delivered on the day. Coach Rebecca Jones said,
“ I can honestly say 2012 has been a very successful year for Haverfordwest Gymnastics Club and the future looks promising for our up and coming talent in the club.â€
