Oscar Percival bounced with great skill and control to finish second in the under nines boys' category.

Alex Brown scooped silver in the under 11s boys and Alex Bedford took home a bronze in the elite men's section.

Beckie Kingsnorth was the only female club member to win an individual medal after finishing third in the over-18s girls' event.
