Bracknell

Bracknell Falcons have won another haul of gold medals – this time at the South East Team Gym Open Tournament.

Bracknell Leisure Centre’s gymnastics club, who won the National British Team Gym Championships in April, took part in the competition in Crawley last weekend.

The Bracknell gymnasts - all aged seven to 12 - performed floor, trampette, trampette vault and tumble routines to judges and audiences from across the country. The competition was good preparation for the team who will be on home soil on February 24 when their next national competition takes place at Bracknell Leisure Centre.

Head coach Stuart Woods said: While some of their scores didn’t reflect their performance in the floor and trampette, the team fought back with a fantastic tumble routine which gained excellent marks. The competition was very tough but the team managed to stay focused and perform exceptionally.”

Cllr Iain McCracken, Executive Member for Leisure, Corporate Services and Public Protection, said: The Falcons have proved their talents yet again, and I would like to congratulate them for their continued success.

I hope they can win in front of their home crowd when the next national competition takes place in Bracknell in February.”
