A HOST of competitors from the Wyre Forest area took part in two big tournaments as part of University of Worcester Trampolining Club.

Local trampolinists from the district were in action in the national competition in Bristol and international competition held in Dublin in recent weeks.

The BUCS National Finals held at the University of Bristol was a competition for those who qualified in February.

Jo Wright, Lauren Draper and Sammi House, who all also coach at Stourport Trampoline Club, qualified to the finals in their groups.

Draper and House represented Worcester in the BUCS two category whilst Wright jumped in the BUCS four category.

Draper performed a solid first routine, but due to changing her second round did not get the awarded difficulty and finished in 18th place.

House had an exceptional first routine putting her in the placing for a medal, however, due to major wobbles in her second routine she came 21st overall.

After a wobble in the first routine and forgetting her second routine, Wright came 35th.

Irish Student competition in Dublin was highly successful for many students from Stourport Trampoline Club.

In the men’s novice section, James Terry finished sixth, while William Terry and Nick Harwood made their debut and earned respectable ninth and 10th placed finishes respectively.

Dan Wiggins, Sam Frost and Mark performed well in their first intermediate competition.

In the ladies advanced category, Emily Batson, Hayley Parker, Wright and Claire Senter all performed well.

Parker competed an excellent first routine but was over taken by Batson after the second routine, which ensured she came third, with Parker fourth.

Wright completed both routines to end in eighth place, with Senter in 31st .

In the ladies elite category, Sammi House was second, Lauren Draper 10th, Erin Taylor 22nd and Emma Goring 25th.
