South East Championship success

Posted on: June 21st, 2015 by David Finch

Saturday, 20th June marked the first ever MF South East Championships in Crawley and to say it was a success would not give it justice.

Without exception, the entire team of students were amazing today and each and every one of you can be so proud! To stand up and be counted as you all did takes courage, determination and commitment and to see you all grow in confidence as the day unfolded was truly inspiring.

Of course, this would not be possible without our wonderfully dedicated team of Instructors and Assistants as well as our passionate and energetic group of families and friends who came to support today. As one big family I feel we can be very proud today.

The standard from all schools was amazing to watch and the sportsmanship and effort was humbling. From those competing for the first time to the seasoned professionals, you are all winners.

We took a team of 20 students of all ages and came home with many wonderful memories, amazing performances, huge pride and an unprecedented 33 medals.
