Gymnastics competition at Tormead

Tormead Novice Gymnastics Competition Report

The annual Tormead Novice Gymnastics Competition brought together an enthusiastic group of young gymnasts from Years 4 to 8, all eager to showcase their developing skills and passion for the sport. The event featured two core disciplines: a set vault and a set floor routine, both designed to test technique, control, and confidence.

Throughout the day, every gymnast demonstrated impressive determination, resilience, and commitment. Many girls overcame personal challenges—whether it was nerves, new skills, or performance pressure—and rose to the occasion with maturity beyond their years. Their effort and team spirit were clear for all to see, and we could not be prouder of the progress and performances displayed across all age groups.

A special congratulations goes to two standout performers:

• Amelia (Year 8) – achieving an outstanding 2nd place in the U13 category.

• Aryeta – delivering a fantastic performance to secure 2nd place in the U10 category.

Both gymnasts showed excellent execution and composure, earning well-deserved podium finishes.

A huge well done to all the girls who took part. Their attitude, perseverance, and joy for gymnastics made the event a great success.

We look forward to building on this momentum in future competitions and seeing the continued growth of our talented gymnasts.

U14 Football v KGS – Match Report

U14 Football v KGS

The U14 football team faced a strong KGS side on Monday in a competitive and well contested fixture. Despite a determined performance, the girls were unable to overturn the opposition and the match finished in a 4–1 defeat.

KGS started brightly and applied early pressure, which tested our defensive organisation. However, the girls responded well, showing resilience and working hard as a unit. There were positive spells of possession, with some good passing moves through midfield and a well taken goal that demonstrated confidence and composure in attack.

In the second half, KGS capitalised on a few key chances to extend their lead. Despite this, the U14s continued to compete with commitment and energy, pressing high up the pitch and showing strong work rate until the final whistle.

Although the result was disappointing, there were plenty of positives to take from the performance, particularly in terms of effort, teamwork and attacking intent. The girls will look to build on these aspects as they continue to develop and prepare for upcoming fixtures.
