 OLGA boys took part  in the Regional National Development Plan Finals at Exeter 15/16 March. There were  excellent results by all the gymnasts

Ten boys aged 8 to 12 took part in the National Development Plan, which was the selection competition to qualify for the National Finals.  In the under age group Rees Bradbury, Cole Merton and Jed Avissar all had an outstanding competition. Reese received the highest score on the rings, high bar and was overall first place, Cole with a consistent performance and came in second with a total of 61.0 points, Jed  came 5^th overall with his highest score on the vault.

 In Primary 4, age 9, we had Sam Budden and Samuel Roberts, both had outstanding performances, finishing 1^st and 5^th respectively, both qualify for the National Finals. Sam was the top scorer on three pieces of apparatus and won by a clear margin.

 In Primary 3, age 10, Oliver Owen, Shea Winstanley and Miles Jones represented us in the toughest group, one point separated the top 6 place.  Oliver came 1^st and had the highest score on pommel, rings and high bar. Shea came in 6^th overall with a total of 62.950. Both these boys, showing superb consistency throughout the competition, qualified for the National Finals.  Miles came in a fantastic 10^th place, accrediting himself with personal best performances on pommel, rings and high bar.

 Jamie Hendy competed in the Primary 2, under 11, category and finished 1^st.  He scored very well, even as high as 9.90 on the parallel bars. His competition was very tough due to the fact that there were elite performance boys competing at this level, so this was a fantastic achievement on his part.

 Thomas Holroyd, our eldest competitor, had a good performance exceeded our expectation.  He finished 2^nd overall, with his floor routine being his most improved piece of apparatus.

 "We are very proud of all the boys, each performing above and beyond our expectations" said Paul Urzica - Head of Boys Gymnastics .

Jamie and Thomas will be going to the National Finals, along with Sam, Samuel, Oliver and Shea, representing South West Region.  The Finals will be held in Newcastle at the beginning of May, and everyone at OLGA wishes all the boys the very best of luck.
