There was no team in the Level 4 age group but Jacob Parkin competed and apart from a slight mistake on floor competed well and was placed 31st overall. Callum Lelliott competed in the Level 5 but again sadly no team in this age group but Callum competed all his routines tidily and came 8th overall. The South East Region did so well that we won The Bob Currier trophy for collecting the most points beating the East Region for the first time. Well done to all the boys who helped the region achieve this great triumph.
