All recreational competitions will take place during gymnasts’ normal class time.  Competitive Squad competition will take place from 11am to 2pm on Sunday 18th.
Venue for all competitions will be Old Bawn Community School Hall.
Best of luck to all, Cant wait to see your performances!!!!

8 gymnasts from Old Bawn competed at last Sundays National Teams competition.   Each year the top teams in Ireland compete for this title.  Old Bawn performed great and only narrowly missed out on the bronze by just a mark, bettering the bronze medal team on three apparatus.  Unfortunatly some uncharacteristic errors on beam kept them from the podium.

However this competition is also a qualifier for selection to the Irish National Squad and also for National All Around and Apparatus Finals.  Due to the strong individual performances of our 8 gymnasts, we are very hopeful that the girls will be well represented at both.  Watch this space!!

Gymnasts who represented Old Bawn:
Beth Gillmor

Following last months trials, we are delighted to announce that Beth Gillmor will travel as part of the Republic of Ireland team to the Northern European competition in Sweden on 11/12 November.  She will compete on floor and vault for the team.  Coach Evelyn Burke will also travel as one of the national team coaches for the competition.  Congratulations Beth, we are all very proud of you!
