Event Report February and March 2010

How busy we all have been; I think we have been meeting ourselves coming backward!  Once again Sport For all In February was an exciting event, we had a mixed team this year with two girls from Elite Squad and three from General Squad, and they made up a very happy team of girls.  We also had two boys competing from our Boys Squad. We all set off to Stainsby Gym Club where we were given a very happy welcome. The gymnasts loved it, this was their first competition for their age and a larger than average entry kept us biting our nails until the last gymnast had competed.

We didn’t need to worry. Mae Hill came in gold position in the Under 10 girls and the team, of Lucy, Ellie, Olivia and Bethany finished in a very respectable 4^th place.

Joseph Ellerby with his cheeky smile won for the Boys and Michael Tosedevin came in a well earned 2^nd position, with the other boys being much older. Well done to everyone.

Next competition up were Grades at Newcastle; Grade 14 being the first grade. We had only one 8 in the year entry, Mae Hill (02) `Hilly`  stole the show with an amazing clean performance, to come out 2.96 in front of second place, well done Hilly, a clean win!!!

Grade 13 was next round, one step up, so Naomi and Chloe take part. I have to say I have never seen Chloe looking more confident; well done Jonesy, you were a star. Naomi, how well you did finishing in 1^st overall, another trophy for “Redcar Rockets”.

Next up saw some of the General Squad girls make a clean sweep in Grade 14, age 11 and under. Megan and Kate being placed and receiving ribbons, Emma in 3^rd place and Holly Dunn bringing home yet another TROPHY¬!!! Wow!  Team Gold.

Next on were the age under 13 Grade 13 AND ONCE AGAIN to our amazement, RGC succeeded. With Amber coming in 4^th position, Chelsea in 3^rd position and CHLOE HARRISON, bringing home the gold again, this day can’t get any better we thought.  Team Gold, team  including Megan Bailey, who did her bars outstandingly!

Abbie Morrison was in Grade 14 age under ten finishing in 10^th position, well done.  Grade 12 in age, oh my goodness yes it just got better! Tilly in 3^rd place and Chloe Robinson in 2^nd and team Silver, oh my goodness!

Amy Dunn in age 13 and under also picked up a 3^rd place! Some result, as Amy has just come back to gym; go girl!

I’m not sure how we can top this year; some fantastic scores, most on a distinction.  This would not be possible if we didn’t have such dedicated coaches, thank you to you all, these girls looked fabulous, and Redcar Rockets just get stronger and stronger.

Next report from the rest of the Grades, soon.
