Five members of the Eagles Acrobatics squad won gold at the City of Bristol friendly competition.

Trio Ellie Steer, Mil­lie Fisher and Ella Has­sall took the top spot in their class while mixed pair Aiden Saxon and Zoe Durant took gold in their grade five category.

There were also bronze medals for pair Freya Charlton and Scarlett Ponstance and trio Sophie Wood, Ellie Docherty and Amy Mason.

Twenty-four Eagles gymnasts took part in the event, including first-time competitors and new partnerships.

Head coach Hannah Penman said: ‘We are very proud of our med­allists but it was equally very pleasing to see the improvements our gymnasts have made since we attend the competition last year.’

Fellow coach Haf­wen Woodmason said: ‘The lasting memory for all the coaches and parents who attended was the sight of 22 girls cheering on Aiden and Zoe as they did their second routine at the end of the day.

‘They were all so tired but were determined to show their teammates their support. They made me very proud.’
