Ten-year-old Herne Junior School pupil Joe and his partner Charlie, eleven, from Waterlooville are celebrating coming first at a national acro gymnastic competition.

The boys, who belong to Xcel Gymnastics Club in Horndean, represented the South Region at the event which took place in the midlands. They competed in front of hundreds before scooping the gold medal for the Men's Pairs, Grade 2.

Jo Gray met the boys and coach Lizzie who tells us more about the sport. We also hear from Joe's proud mum Paula.
