Inspired by her strong bars routine, she put in a lovely graceful beam with another strong score of 12.500 earning her sixth place.

On vault she kept her nerve and put in two good vaults that resulted in equal seventh.

These results meant in the overall competition, the two great scores on beam and bars were enough to lift her into a well-deserved fifth.

On day two it was the turn of Lucy Stephenson-Gill to compete in the new regional five competition for year 2000 births.
