DHS Gymnasts Perform Excellently in the Northern Ireland Schools Championships U14s Competition

DHS pupils have achieved yet more success in the sporting arena. Year 9 pupils Georgia Boyce, Tamsin Boyce, Anna Cleland and year 8 pupil Ellen James performed impressively at the Northern Ireland Schools Championships U14s Gymnastics competition. The event, held at Newry Sport Centre on Saturday 26th February, saw the girls compete against over fifty other schools. Working in acrobatic pairs, Anna and Ellen placed 4th and Tamsin and Georgia were placed 5th in Northern Ireland.
The girls were surprised and thrilled by their outstanding achievement, one that is made even more significant when it is understood that the girls were competing against teams with older contestants. The two teams now progress to the National Development Programme that is held at Salto, Lisburn. The girls are excited about this important opportunity and look forward to being able to work closely with and learn from older, more experienced gymnasts.
