Gymnastics: Loughborough aces turn on style to land clean sweeps

Loughborough Acro gymnasts swept the board at their latest competition, taking gold, silver and bronze in not just one class, but two.

Weeks after being crowned Charnwood Club of the Year, Acro's gymnasts proved they deserved the title, beating other teams from around the East Midlands to win a string of medals in the event at New College in Leicester.

In the novice women's pairs, Lily Parker and Emily Porter took gold, Megan Wagg and Amy Oakley silver and Sarah Adshead and Isobelle Baker bronze.

The gold rush continued in the prep A women's pairs with Beth Coira-Surez and Ellie Osborne in first place, Jessica Gordon and Lucy Errington second, and team-mates Chandini Subramanyam-mudaliar and Libby Worthington third.

New trio Alice Smith, Alice Phillipson and Chloe Monk took gold in the grade three women's group, with Gemma Craggs, Jo Keston and Bethany Kelly in silver-medal position.

Brothers Alex Gray and Cameron Gray won the grade two men's pairs.

In the tumbling, Jo Harrison won the boys' eight-and-under category.

In addition, Daniel Harrison scooped the honours in the boys' nine to 10 years.

Head coach Kathryn Lacey said: "I didn't think our year could get any better after being named as Charnwood Club of the Year.

"But this is just the icing on the cake. It's taken a lot of work, but it's worth it." Results:
