Oxfordshire Sports Awards 2015 On 27 November, our now retired Senior Trio, along with their Coach Emma Parr and friends and family of the girls, attended the Oxfordshire Sports Awards Presentations Dinner. The club had been short-listed for the prestigious Sports Team of the Year award and to the huge delight of everyone present - we won! This was a fabulous achievement as the category is open to every sport and every club in the county. As such, this award is something that everyone has played a part in achieving and of which we can all be extremely proud! More details to follow soon.
Southern Region Championships 2015 Two Gold and a Silver for our 3 young Partnerships! Three partnerships represented the club at the 2015 South of England Regional Championships, all of them performing personal best routines, winning 2 gold medals and a Silver over the course of the day. Ilka and Maddy competed early in their round and led for almost the entire time with an impressive 27.86, just being pipped to the Gold by the last pair to compete. However, this was by far their best ever routine and one they can be very proud of.
Louisa and Charlie also produced their best ever routine to wow the spectators and the judges alike, who awarded them an outstanding 28.35. Technically extremely impressive, the girls complemented this with sharp and expressive artistry making them worthy winners of the Grade 3 Pairs Champions title. Brony, Annabel and Alba had to wait until late afternoon to perform for the first time together. It takes a while for a new partnership to 'click' and following a lot of hard work during their final build up, this had started to happen. All they needed to do now was control their nerves and show what they were capable of doing. And they did! In their first competition, the girls scored an excellent 27.9, achieving a 9.03 for execution in the process and winning the Gold medal by a comfortable margin.
Congratulations to all of you - great results and just reward for all your hard work!
