The annual club competition this year was the first at our new centre and consisted of gymnasts of all abilities and ages bouncing for titles in their group.
As usual the day started off with the traditional coaches ego shield where all the L1 and above coaches compete for bragging rights. James Able was defending his town from last year but was narrowly pipped to the title but I tired and busy Ali who claimed the shield for his second time ever!
We then opened the main individual competitions from club 0 to FIG. There were many exceptional performances from our veterans including Alex Radford, Anaabelle Hacker and Molly McGregor. Many gymnasts also had their first taste of competition and did exceptionally well. Some of the great results for them included Luke Grimes, Millie Rowlandson and Cora McGregor. DE Photo were on hand and you can see and purchase their images on their website (password is "cangaroos").
In the gap during results we had music from a local band kindly organised by Graham Spence and there was many a cheer as the first round of medals were handed out. Following the resutls we completed hte individual competition and moved onto the synchro.
The fancy dress synchro is a great event every year. Gymnasts will compete in pairs on adjacent trampolines trying to do the same routine at the same time. The twist at Cangaroos is some pairs will be in fancy dress and the best costume also gets a prize. This year the winners of the competition were Molly and Rhiannon with a storming routine. The best dressed award went to the mario Spences and the pair of Cora and Elsa.
And that concluded our 2019 compeition. We wish to thank all our volunteers, coaches, judges, stall helpers, DE Photo, supportive parents, band members and chefs. It was a busy day and a tad chaotic at points. Next year we'll make it more awesome and we welcome your feedback of how this year went.
Should you wish to compete in the regional events please let your coach know and we will get them entered into one of our upcoming competitions.
