 Following
the continued hard work and recent successes
Reece Pearson
has been included in the Great Britain Junior Team
to compete in the forthcoming 2008 European Championships.
15 year old Reece, coached by our Head
Coach Barry Winch , is the British
U16 champion, plus U16 champion on Parallel Bars and High Bar.
He won bronze on High Bar at the recent British Masters and is the
London Open U16 champion (retaining the title he also won in 2007).
He has also competed for GB several times this year - and GB have won
most of the tournaments they entered.
Unfortunately, only due to an ankle
injury our Sam Hunter missed
selection for the Great Britain Senior Team.
Our Head coach
Barry Winch once again figures
in the National Set up, this time as Great Britain Senior Team
Manager.
The event is taking place in Lausanne,
Switzerland 5th - 11th of May.
Good Luck to
Reece and all those who represent Great
Britain
