Moberly Stars at the GB National Teams 2016

It has been an interesting year for the Moberly stars at the National events this year.

Very well done to the Moberly stars that represented London at the National Team Championships in Walsall in July. Dinari and Daniel were in the boys Minor/Pre-Cadet team that won a fantastic gold medal beating the Scottish team in a very dramatic nationalteams-collagefinal.
Lucy was in the girls gold medal winning Cadet team.
Max, Michael and Tyrese were in the Cadet team that were unfortunately eliminated in the pools. David was also representing the men’s senior team and helped them to an excellent bronze.
It was a pity that the organisation of the event was not at its usual high standard and we were unable to take the podium pictures of all our medal winners.
