| Leicestershire Level 7, 6 individual apparatus championships 2014
The competition was held in Leicester at New College. There was a great turn out of gymnasts from across Leicestershire with around 70 competitors from many clubs taking part. Hinckley & Burbage had a strong presence with 20 gymnasts from the club competing for the medals. It was a long day’s competition with level 7 gymnasts starting the day followed the medal presentation. Then after a short break the level 6 gymnasts had their chance to perform. Today’s event was to find the best gymnasts on each piece of apparatus. Gymnasts are split into age groups and ability.

The club came away with many medals across the age groups and levels. We also had several apparatus champions and those gymnasts should be very happy with the results. All who competed on the day should be proud of their performance. The support from the crowd was great helping make the event a great success for the County and our club. A big well done to everyone!”
