Each completed a floor routine, two vaults and then together performed a group routine.

The Kingsley girls won each section to secure the title.

The Trio National Finals will be held in Stoke-on-Trent on March 9.

Individual tumblers represented their schools in the South West Schools Acrobatics Competition in Sherborne at the weekend.

In the under-11 section, Sophie Lethaby (Combe Martin) and Flynn Rostock (Sticklepath) tied for the silver medal.

With the top two gymnasts qualifying for the South West team, they went into a tumble-off and Sophie pipped Flynn to book her place at the National Finals in May.

Francesca Sayer (St Margaret's C of E) and Indya Dunn (Sticklepath) finished fourth and fifth respectively.

Kaycee Wright (South Molton) demonstrated great speed and flight to take the under-14 bronze medal, ahead of Sophie Johns in sixth, Taylor Langmead seventh and Brooke Timmins (both Pilton) ninth.
