On Saturday, 17 October 2026, our athletes traveled to the University of East London to compete in the prestigious Aquila Autumn Open 2026.

It was an action-packed day full of grit, focus, and camaraderie. From individual divisions to synchronized pair and team routines, every single athlete represented the club with pride, sportsmanship, and high technical quality.

Composure Under Pressure

Competition days always test mental strength as much as physical skill. Despite facing persistent technical delays with the scoring system on Court 3, our competitors stayed composed, warmed up, and fully locked in. Rather than letting the interruptions break their rhythm, the team channeled their energy into sharp, confident displays.

Gratitude to Our Support Network

Events like this are only possible with a dedicated team behind the scenes:

• Coach Mark: Thank you for your tireless coaching, mat-side encouragement, and tactical guidance throughout the long schedule.

• Parents & Families: Thank you for traveling, cheering from the stands, and consistently backing our athletes through every training camp and competition.

Well done to every competitor who stepped onto the mats. We look forward to carrying this momentum into our next tournament!
