CHIPPENHAM Moonraker Gymnastics member Liza Clarke won a silver medal at the Adult Gymnastics British Championships in Lilleshall recently.

Clarke and fellow Moonraker Julie Bright were both competing for the first time at the event and achieved excellent success in their respective classes.

Clarke had to wait until day two of the competition to start her challenge, competing in the Intermediate O30s category where she put in solid performances across all four pieces – floor, beam, vault and bars.

Clarke finished first on beam and second on the uneven bars to take an overall silver medal.

Bright had earlier been action on day one, taking on the beam, floor and vault apparatus where she produced tidy routines. Those efforts saw Bright place fifth in the Newbie O30s category.
