The annual Oakwood Schools gymnastics competition took place last Thursday and Friday at Tenby Leisure Centre. The event is sponsored by Oakwood Park, with Sports Match funding from the Sports Council for Wales.

Some 700 pupils took part in what has become an extremely popular event; in fact, it's the largest of its kind in Wales.

This year's overall shield winners in the Primary School section for Small School Girls was Hook and for Boys was Orielton. Prendergast won both the Large School Girls and Boys. The overall shield winners in the Comprehensive Schools section were Tasker Milward Girls and for the Boys Milford.

Rachel Hughes, WAGA development officer, said: "This year's event was once again a great success. I'm delighted by how many entries we had for the competition and am thrilled that over half the schools in Pembrokeshire entered gymnasts. The highlight for me this year was the special needs events. The tremendous support over the two days and the joy on the entrants' faces was a great reward to me and truly reflected the ethos of the event, which is to encourage participation in gymnastics regardless of ability.

"I would like to thank Oakwood and the Sports Council for Wales for helping to make this event possible through their generous sponsorship and the WAGA for their continued support and, of course, all the coaches at Haverfordwest Gymnastics Club for all their hard work," she concluded.
