Many 1st time international gold medallists for WEST STREET ACRO!

West Street played a huge part in this year’s Celtic Cup International and made an impact on the NDP & FIG team scores to help Wales take home the gold medal!

In the NDP’s our youngest trio scored very well once again and performed superbly even though their music had skipped, they kept the routine going and even managed to finish on time, taking home the silver medal in their category! Grade 3 women’s pair Natasha Minchella and Heather Carter performed well especially with their lack of practice as Tasha has been on holiday (they didn’t see each other for 2 weeks until competition day!) and were awarded the Bronze medal for their Tempo routine and narrowly missed out on the Bronze medal in Balance by 0.07!

The contribution to the FIG team scores were excellent with Charlotte Thomas and Abi Hughes scoring the highest mark for Wales for their Tempo routine in the world age women’s pair’s and taking home the silver medal!. One of our newest partnership’s Lia Richards, Emily Gazzi and Megan Jones scored the second highest mark for Wales with their Tempo routine to take home the gold medal in the world age women’s groups, and Nia Lang, Katie Jenkins and Rhiannon Maine put in 3 solid performances in the Junior women’s group category, (which was the highest category in the competition) taking home Gold medals in both their balance and tempo routines and the silver medal in their combined routine!

Congratulations to Katie Jenkins who was named team captain and got to lift the cup for Wales! Katie did a brilliant job as team captain encouraging the whole team and the position was well deserved after many years in the Welsh Team!

Once again thank you to the support of the parents, and especially the coaches who have worked so hard to achieve the success of the gymnasts at this International. Also a big thank you to Julie for judging all day for us.

WELL DONE ALL!!
