Regional preliminaries - March 11^th 2007

RGA winners of Carita house team trophy

9 GOLDS, 5 SILVERS, 3 BRONZE
HIGHEST SCORING MIXED PAIR

The Regionals this year proved to be a very successful competition for the club, as it was the first time we have ever one the Carita House team trophy, managing to beat Bromley, the holders of the trophy for the last 4 or 5 years! The trophy is awarded to the club with the highest team score, the score is calculated by a sliding scale of gymnasts being placed in 1^st, 2^nd & 3^rd position.

Therefore RGA was the best club in the 2007 Regionals – Hip Hip Hooray.

There were many partnerships that were competing in their first ever Regionals and they all coped well with the pressures.

We qualified in 3 events for the National Finals, with 2 other partnerships very close to qualifying.

The following gymnasts all won gold at the Regionals and will represent London at the National finals:

Grade 1 Women’s Pair – Vikki Boyce & Lara Johnson

Grade 1 Mens Group – Lewis Walker, Tian Scott, William Gibson & Charlie Duncan

Grade 2 Mixed Pair – Lewis Walker & Aureliane Pierret

A massive well done must go to William Duncan who managed to compete in two disciplines with a broken finger.

All the coaches would like to say a huge congratulation to all our gymnasts and thank you to everyone that helped at the competition.
