MAG Head Coach, Peter James said, “It has been a great day in the gym for our Boys squad competing in the East Region Recreational Competition. Competing against 7 other clubs in the region and coming out with some brilliant results with medals across all of the age groups. This was the first competition for many of the boys in this squad and they should all be very proud of their performances across all of the apparatus today.

The Club has had a long period of success at this competition with this Squad now being the 4th generation of gymnasts taking part in this event. I’m very proud to be a part of this program in the club and a big thanks also goes to my junior assistant Hrissian Gunov who also helped the boys progress and be ready for this competition.

Well done to you all for a truly outstanding day representing Harlow Gymnastics Club.”
