Youth Events by Stars News Team

We have had some great achievements during this year. Pride of place goes to Rebecca Sullivan and Brooke and Carrigan Gristock who represented Wales in the NACYP International Athletics Championships becoming the first from Eastmoors to represent Wales and gain International vests. This year we hope to have a few more.

In the Cardiff Youth Events, we also had a number of successes, singer Ellie Hanson was the Cardiff junior singing champion and dancers Amy Atkinson, Ellie Hanson, Courtney James and Savannah Reed won the junior Cardiff Streetdance and went to the National Finals in Newtown. They were also joined by the junior football team who were Cardiff youth events winners.

In our own talent competition, Savannah Reed (singing) had a standing ovation as she won the junior catagory with dancer James Murphy runner up and Courtney Bush gave the judges ‘shivers’ singing her way to victory with Paige Courtney runner up. Our two teams also done well in the D of E cooking competition as did our pool players with Billy Hall leading the way for the boys and Nicole Davies the girls.

In our presentation awards this year, junior boy of the year was Billy Hall, junior girl Carrigan Gristock and senior boy was Michael Broad with a joint senior girl award going to Courtney Bush and Sophie Lacey. This year there will be a much harder test to choose the winners with so many wonderful young people achieving so much.

A final word of congratulations to Luke Sheppard who followed up last years award of D of E participant of the year with a brilliant achievement of Cardiff Youth Worker of the year. Well done Luke, we are all very proud of you.
