THREE members of the Europa Gym Club had success at the London Regional Divisional Champ-ionships, held at Heathrow.

Leanne Withall, who competed in the 12-13 age group of Division 2, finished an excellent second to win her first-ever medal at regional level.

Kerry Cox, her coach, said: "She really enjoys gymnastics and this sccess and the joy it gave Leanne and her family made all her efforts worthwhile."

Estelle Duhy emulated Leanne by winning a silver in the Division 1 class for 12-13 year-olds.

This adds to her fine second place in the beam final when she competed in the Golden State Jewel City International Club Challenge, held in Los Angeles earlier this year.

To round off a great day for Europa's gymnasts, Shanice Kirkland won a bronze when competing in Division 3 of the 8-9 year-old category.

Europa's Len Arnold said: "All the girls performed extremly well and we are all very proud of them."
