Colchester School of Gymnastics’ Harvey Bell has been crowned national champion.

He was victorious in the level two 11-12 Individual National Development Plan finals, in Telford.

Bell qualified after winning his event at the East Region at the Regional Team Finals, in Peterborough.

He only started trampolining last October, so this is a huge achievement in such a short space of time.

Eve Hood was tenth in the level four age nine to ten girls competition, in Peterborough.

And Jessica Soanes placed 20th in the level three age 13+ competition.
