other countries.

the Pair category in which they came 11th. Amber and Grace competed in a very tough group
in Junior team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for the girls and they thank everyone who either sponsored

Mila’s mother Sonia Crook says “I am very proud of these 4 girls, they were very
professional and did not show any nerves competing at this level. We are now working
towards our next team competitions in September”.
