Star gymnasts in county

Britain’s top women gymnasts are heading to Shropshire this weekend for an international competition - and a shot at the European championships.

Great Britain take on the Czech Republic and two Israelis at Lilleshall tomorrow and Sunday.

The team and individual all-around competition takes place on Saturday from 3pm and the individual apparatus finals start at 1pm on Sunday.

There will be no tickets on sale but seating for spectators will be available on a first-come first-served basis.

The competition is the second trial for the European championships which take place in France from April 3-6.

City of Liverpool trio Melanie Roberts, Hannah Clowes and Hannah Whelan took the top three positions in the first control competition at Lilleshall.
