Pewter Petite
This team showed such improvement in leg tension and extension on all apparatus. Achieving the highest team score on bars. 3rd on the beam and 3rd on floor. Placing 4th out of 16 teams from across the region missing the bronze medal by 0.1. A frustratingly fantastic result!
Pewter Junior
Despite the temperature in the sports hall, their individual style shone through. With high casts and good body shape they were the 2nd highest scoring team on bars. Performing with fluidity and confidence on beam they achieved 5th placed overall. Well done gymnasts.
Tin Junior
Putting new skills to the test, this team showed such progress. Performing roundoff flics for the first time. Overcoming injury and mentally challenging skills. Performing upstarts for the first time and with perfect straight arms. Achieving the 2nd highest team score on bars and placing 5th overall. Keep up the good work girls!
Pewter Participation
Entering into the competition arena for the very first time and they were an absolute delight!
Professional, smart, confident, taking everything in their stride and demonstrating such potential for the future. Receiving special Yorkshire rosettes to mark this milestone, well done girls.
Zinc Senior.
A team effort through and through. Every member of the team playing their part. Stepping up on bars performing the forward hip circle for the first time. Excellent on vault with half twist in the first flight scoring higher than a handspring. The team placed 2nd on vault, 2nd on beam and 3rd on floor. Achieving the silver medal overall. Fabulous result ladies!
On behalf of the club, I would like to say thank you to Mrs Nobbs for an event that gave so much to the gymnasts in so many ways.
A thank you to the Pewter petite parents for their loyalty and support with putting the Yorkshire equipment away.
On a personal note, I’m so pleased Sharon was well enough to accompany her gymnasts at their first event, guiding their gymnastics journey from townhall recreational classes into the regional competition arena!
And finally, I would like to recognise the huge support that Nichola provided to the gymnasts and myself personally in the arena. 34 degree heat, 12+hours standing with a perspiration waterfall down our backs and barely a toilet break, throbbing feet, celebrating the highs, boosting the lows, calming the inevitable giggles caused by exhaustion, stress and sleep deprivation. To then get the coaches safely home only to do it all again the next day. Nichola, your volunteering goes above and beyond.
