Gymnasts off to Cape Town
Resilience gymnasts who compete at higher levels all qualified for the SA Games, which are held during the October school holidays in Cape Town.
ALBERTON – All six artistic gymnasts first took part in August in a friendly competition in Kempton Park, followed by Central Gauteng Regionals in Pretoria, where most of them received top three placings.
Gauteng Inter-Provincials took place in September, also in Pretoria, from which all six qualified for Nationals.
These Gymnasts will receive their Gauteng Provincial colours for their achievements.
The club would like to thank their coaches, Roxanne and her brother Vincent van Herwaarde, for all their hard work, as well as the gymnasts who put in extra hours of training to get these excellent results.
Two fundraisers were held recently in Brackenhurst area to assist some of the gymnasts, who are from a disadvantaged community, to make their dream come true to get to Cape Town. Thank you to all people of Brackenhurst, who generously donated to this cause.
