National Trampoline Gala results at Hatfield |
30th January 2012 | ||
|
All six of Brentwood Trampoline Club's members travelling to Hatfield for this gala had cause for nerves, with Lauren & Lucy never having competed at National level before, Chrissie & Susanna venturing into FIG B for the first time, Kensie having hurt her foot the previous day and Josh determined to get back to FIG B. In the event there was at least cause for future confidence with either medals, qualification to finals or good experience to take away with them. The weekend ended with two winners, one third placed and 4 qualifying to national finals. To find out more about the results and how Kensie managed with (as was found out after the event) a broken bone in her foot, read the full competition report at http://brentwoodtc.org/hatfield_28-29jan12.htm. |

Regional Trampoline Grading - Brentwood Trampoline Results |
27th January 2012 | ||
|
This competition, hosted by Brentwood Trampoline on 22nd January, saw the highest entry most can recall with an entry of nearly 370 and over 330 actually competing on the day. Brentwood Trampoline had 45 competing, once again the largest contingent in a regional grading competition. The day saw many of Brentwood Trampoline's members competing at a new grade for the first time and so expectations were cautiously optimistic in the most part: First time in grade or competition:
Qualifiers:H to G
G to E
G to F
F to E
E to D
D to C
Georgia Tyrrell & Maddison Merritt also hit the qualifying scores for this grade but since only the top 20% can be promoted and, with Faith, they were the only three competing in the under-13 age group, missed out this time round. Trophies:

Eric visits 12th Annual Brentwood Open |
8th November 2011 | ||
|
With competitors ranging in ability from raw beginners competing at I grade to national standard competing at B & C grades the day offered a wide range of experience for the audience with many youngsters in their first competition delighting the audience and judges alike. The top end of competition was more demanding with many of those competing at grade C & above expecting to be in the hunt for the prestigious Georgia Cordery trophies. Eric Pickles said: "I was very surprised to see so many people here. It is a much larger event than I thought it would be and I am impressed with the amount of organisation that has obviously gone into producing a very successful competition. It is particularly good to see so many young people enjoying their sport."Later Mr Pickles was pleased to be able to present some trophies and team awards including (see picture) those for Vanessa Lewis (right) and Abbie-Jo Goldsmith (left) taking 1st & 2nd in the Over-15 E grade joined by Nicola Miller (centre) to take team gold as well. For the third year running, both Georgia Cordery trophies were won by members of Brentwood Trampoline Club with Kensie Sherlock taking the over-13 trophy (Brentwood's Lauren Michaels in 3rd place) and Joshua Newman taking the under-13 with Georgia Tyrrell & Maddison Merrittt (both only grade E) making it a Brentwood 1-2-3. The club was also pleased with its overall results with 16 individual trophy winners, 5 team winners and almost too many new personal best scores to count. More details of the results are available at http://www.brentwoodtc.org/brentwood_30oct11.htm. |

Great results for Brentwood Trampoline |
23rd October 2011 | ||
"It's a long way to go but an important journey to make to test the competitor, and their family's, resolve since when they qualify to National competition the journeys become longer and involve overnight stays."Paul was equally pleased with the results with 15 of Brentwood's competitors achieving the targets needed for qualification giving a 58% success rate against a competition average of just 34%. Of course, the club also gained a fair share of trophies with 12 individual podium places and 3 winning teams - full details of the individual success stories are on the clubs website at www.brentwoodtc.org/easton_16oct11.htm. The next challenge for the club is to host its annual Open Competition at their training base in Brentwood School Sports Centre where they are expecting nearly 300 competitors to be chasing, among other awards, the Georgia Cordery Form trophies for under-13 and over-13 trampolinists. These trophies are awarded each year to those who display the highest quality skills, rather than difficulty, and are in memory of Georgia Cordery. |

Two national champions and a bronze medallist |
26th July 2011 | ||
For the past 3 years Chrissie Law, from Brentwood, has made the Finals but missed out on finals day achieving a best result of 29th last year; this year, however, she has stepped up a gear and was more confident having finalled consistently in the gala competitions she had attended making 4th place on a few occasions. For Susanna Badley, from Harold Wood, and Josh Newman, from Noak Bridge, this was to be their first experience having only graduated from regional competition last October. Competing in the NIA is a daunting experience as each group of competitors walk into the huge arena from behind the curtained training area to music and loud clapping from audience and officials alike and many find their nerves begin to take hold at this point. This year the three Brentwood Trampoline Club members overcame all nerves and put on a wonderful display on the qualifying day to impress the judges with their great form and saw all three move into finals day in top three places. Chrissie, in particular, had excelled posting all new personal best scores in her efforts to put past years disappointments behind her. Finals day and and there was plenty of time for nerves to build up as other finals went before them but finally time came for Susanna & Josh to compete in their respective groups, Chrissie had longer for nerves to build as her final was later in the day. All three, however, prevailed with Susanna becoming under-15 girls National C champion, Josh under-13 boys National C champion and Chrissie taking 3rd place in the under-19 girls National C with yet another personal best score. Brentwood Trampoline Club takes its competitive training seriously and so work resumes throughout the summer period towards next years competition season, (unlike many other youth groups) the club remains open throughout the summer period for both competitive and recreational trampolining and regularly has pay-as-you-go spaces. If you are interested in taking the sport up just check the club's web-site (www.brentwoodtc.org) for session times. |

Brentwood Hockey Club - End of Season Report |
17th April 2011 | ||
|
An uninterrupted second half of the season at Brentwood Hockey Club has brought us a number of superb team performances with no fewer than 4 teams gaining promotion into higher leagues and only 1 team being relegated. All four of the promotion gaining teams came second in their respective leagues and they were the Ladies 2nd, the Ladies 3rd, the Mens 2nd and the Mens 4th. The Men’s 1st XI were the only side to move in the opposite direction and they were still in it up to 4 weeks before the end of the season when a run of disappointing results saw them falter at the last hurdle. With a number of very promising youngsters on the way through and the reinstatement of the manager position on the sideline next year could see a hoped for immediate return to the higher league. The Ladies 1st XI have consolidated their position and came in a creditable 6th place with everything to look forward to in the autumn. Thanks must go to Paul Johnson and his team of managers and coaches so thank you Tim, Tony, Forbie, Neil, Jo, Richard and Will and their band of helpers. With the Summer Leagues all due to commence in May we are keen to welcome new faces at the club whether that be players returning to the game, beginners wanting to give hockey a try or youngsters who are looking for an enjoyable team game played with vigour and respect. Check out the club website for news on forthcoming events and club contacts.

Highly qualified trampolinists at Gillingham |
4th March 2011 | ||
Susanna Badley was first of the three to compete in one of the first groups of the day. With 48 Under-15 Girls National C competitors it was a long wait until the end result was known but from the beginning she didn't relinquish her lead. With a 0.5 advantage after the set round she pulled away further after the voluntary, now 1.3 clear and yet more in the final round ending 2.2 clear of the second placed girl despite her having a 1 point tariff advantage. As well as the win she also gained an Enhanced Score qualification to FIG B competition and 3 new personal best scores. Joshua Newman was competing next in the 14-strong boys equivalent group. having had a niggling injury in the preceding weeks he was planning on simply repeating his set routine in the voluntary rounds giving him a 2 to 3 point tariff disadvantage against the main contenders. Despite this he was in 2nd place after the set and posting consistently higher form marks than others maintained that position to the end. As with Susanna, Josh's performance was also rewarded with an Enhanced Score qualification to FIG B and 2 new personal bests. Chrissie Law was competing in the Under-19 Ladies National C class. After the set round she was lying in 1st place, the voluntary round, however, saw her maintain excellent form scores higher than all her nearest rivals but fall back to 3rd place as opponents with nearly 2 clear marks of tariff advantage overhauled her. In the final round Chrissie maintained her form with nobody getting close but, once again, higher tariffs held sway and she ended in 4th place - in a group of 40 an excellent return capped nicely with a FIG B qualification as well as 2 new personal bests. |
