NESTON Gymnastics Club sent six girls to compete at the North West Floor and Vault Championships in Manchester - and they returned with six medals.

In the under 9 age group, Lauryn Boyle defeated opposition from 11 top clubs in the region to take overall gold in the North West Trophy, having earned silver on the floor and bronze on the vault.

In the U12s, Abby Lyon also took overall gold having won silver in both the floor and vault.

Hannah Wilson finished ninth in the U10s floor and team-mate Heather Stewart was sixth on floor and fifth on vault. The U11s section saw Bethan Murray fifth on the vault and Natasha Jervis sixth on the vault and eighth on the floor.

This was only the second year the club entered the North West Championships and they equalled their medal tally for last year.
