TWO young gymnasts have somersaulted their way through to the National Acrobatics Championship Final.
Alisa Pitt, 14 and Julia Pacitto, 13, of Hemlington Gymnastics Club, Teesside, are travelling to Staffordshire as part of the North of England Team.
Both girls, who train at Stockton Sports Centre, came first in the Women's Pairs event at the North of England Sports and Acrobatics Championships, followed by fellow gymnasts from the club, Nikki and Samantha Thompson.
Alisa also took first place in the Women's Tumbling competition, where the club won the first six places.
Adrian Price, of Stockton Sports Centre said: The girls' hard work and commitment has paid off. It is the first time the club has entered the competition and they did exceptionally well.
"Everyone at the sports centre wishes the girls good luck in the National."
