The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
The boys from Spalding Gymnastics Academy did themselves and the club proud at the Northants county four-piece championships.
Spalding were invited to the Irthlingborough event and performed well across the categories.
In the novice level, Lewis Burton was the club’s only gymnast. He performed very well despite not medalling.
In the intermediate level (age nine), Elliot Brookes won the silver medal and Zac Wilkins finished fourth and he was very unlucky to not clinch a podium place.
In the ten years age group, Luke Jakins put some tidy work together and finished with a bronze in what was a tightly fought group.
Elsewhere, Jorge Bradford (bronze) just missed on the silver medal in the aged 11 and over age group, with Josh Pearson fourth and Alfie Rosam-Lee fifth.
The last group to compete was the advanced level 10/11.
Spalding performed very well in this section, which saw Marco Vertuccio claim silver and Lucas Webb bag bronze.
It got even better in the 13 plus age category, as Ollie Rushton was in sensational form.
He won the gold medal and also took the trophy for that group.
A club statement said: “Well done everyone, you made Spalding proud of your achievements and the hard training that you put in showed.
“Our next competition for boys is the county floor and vault championships at Lincoln.”
