National final appearances for three of Sapphires' elite
Three young artistic gymnasts from the Hemel-based Sapphire School of Gymnastics elite boys' programme went to the national finals at Birmingham Gymnastics and Martial Arts Centre recently.
There was fierce competition against the best in the country and it demanded precise routines and exceptional talent to stand out.
The national club grade divisions saw Alfred Hall competing at Level 3. He finished 43rd overall and earned a silver medal on the floor with a dynamic routine.
