A bumper crop of talented girls from a Rickmansworth school have qualified for national gymnastics competitions.

Fourteen girls from Royal Masonic School in Chorleywood Road will represent the school and the east of England in the two finals later this year.

On February 2 the school entered two teams in the Under 11 age group and two in the Under 16 group of the Team Trio Gym Competition in Harlow and won both categories.

The following day 33 girls competed in the Eastern Region Acrobatic Gymnastic & Tumbling competition in Luton and enjoyed yet more success.

The girls will now represent the school in the final of both competitions.
