On Sunday, nine girls from mid-Essex based Gyrus Team Gym Club travelled to Basingstoke to compete in the Southern Open Team Competition.
The team, who are sponsored by Fitness First, had to perform a group floor sequence, three different tumble runs and trampet, two over vault, and all sequences were performed to music.
The girls competing are a fairly young team, with ages ranging from 11 to 13.
The squad was Sarah Allen, Grace Westwood, Hayley Simpson, Nicola Drummond, Lisa Turnbull, Emily Lidd, Sora Ferraira, Jenny Harris and Katherine Keay.
Team coaches Jo West, Donna Keay and Karen Turner were pleased that they achieved second place and now, after further qualifiers have the British Championship in March in their sights.
