BASINGSTOKE Gymnastic Club’s boys squad enjoyed plenty of success when they hosted the 2014 Southern Region Championships.

Basingstoke had boys competing in most age groups. At under-eight/nine level, Joshua Coomber finished 10th in the out of age category, two places ahead of club-mate Sonny Moore, while Oliver Whiles was 10th, competing in age.

In the Level One Elite Grade out of age category, Christian Corneal finished first, while Toby Splain finished second in the in age category, just ahead of team-mate Toby Woods, who was third.

Splain and Woods have been selected to represent the Southern Region at the National Finals in November as a result.

Nicholas McKay finished eighth in the under-10s event, while Owen Hastings was 14th. Josh Kershaw was eighth in the under-11s event, the same position achieved by under-13 Issa Kalfon.

Coach Jon Fuller said: “It was great to see the team work so well following the hard work and dedication of up to 16 hours’ training per week.”
