YOUNG tumblers took to the floor with a series of impressive displays at the Furness Academy cluster Key Steps One gymnastics finals.
Pupils from seven schools displayed their acrobatic excellence as the youngest competitors to take part in the Cumbria School Games structure.
The Years 1 and 2 pupils making up 11 teams impressed the judges at Furness Academy with their efforts on the vault and floor.
The highest score a team can achieve is 100, with the top two teams from the cluster qualifying for the Furness area finals in March. Yarlside emerged as the school to beat, as they took first place with a score of 91.39, just ahead of St George’s, with 90.78.
Furness School Games organiser Oliver Carswell was pleased with the standard of gymnastics on display, and said: “Overall, the competition went very well, it ran smoothly with lots of praise coming from staff members of the competing schools.
“It shows how close the competition was, with only small margins between qualifying and missing out.”
