Garioch gymnasts had another successful weekend when they competed in two contests at Perth.

On Saturday, November 20, the Gordon Forster Team Championships were held in the Bell's Sports Centre.

The Kintore club's elite gymnasts – Erin Fraser, Islay Grant, Casey Reid, Thea Klopper, Amber Cameron and Leah Douglas – competed against the best teams in Scotland.

It was not the easiest day as an injury to Grant halfway through the competition meant she could not continue and the Garioch team could only have three gymnasts on the remaining two pieces with all three scores having to count towards their total.

The girls pulled together brilliantly and managed to secure a bronze team medal.

The results were: Team bronze: Erin Fraser, Islay Grant, Casey Reid, Thea Klopper, Amber Cameron and Leah Douglas.

Erin Fraser: Fourth overall, silver vault, bronze floor, fifth bars.

Islay Grant: Bronze beam.

On Sunday, November 21, the Scottish Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced Competition was held in the sports centre.

This was the first event back for the youngest and two-piece competitors and they did not disappoint.
