Granite Belt Physie brought home a strew of awards with nine girls selected to go to the National’s competition later next month.
The weekend sees all the clubs of the area including Tamworth, Moree, Armidale, Gunnedah, Upper Hunter, Muswellbrook, Coonabarabran and the Granite Belt come together to compete against each other in both a team and champion girl competition.
Teams consist of eight girls from the same club on the floor together trying to perform in synchronisation.
“We had 64 girls go down and compete,” Granite Belt physie teacher Rachel Sanders said.
“Results don’t matter that much but it was a huge achievement – when it comes to Nationals what will be will be.
“Everyone was really enjoying what they were doing – even the ones who placed last year and didn’t this year were still smiling.”
Ms Sanders said she proud to see the performances from 19 girls competing in their first zone competition.
“It was the biggest zone competition we’ve been to and we had the most teams and places we’ve ever had.
“The club spirit on show was really lovely.”
Ms Sanders said they’ll now look ahead to the Nationals held at Sydney’s Homebush on November 23.
