Three boys from Kestrel Gymnastics Club attended Welsh Boys Artistic Squad Trials in Cardiff, performing eight set routines which included the six men's apparatus, plus two extra floor sets – Physical Preparation Programme and Artistic Preparation Programme. Finally, after a tense few days, the long awaited results arrived. Six-year-old Aedan McDaid and seven-year-old Alex Hill-Wilson had gained places in the Welsh Preparation Squad, and eight-year-old Joseph Dunster had gained a place in the Welsh Development Squad. The delighted boys had worked very hard to achieve this, and it is a great honour for Kestrels to have three young gymnasts at that level.
