After a long and competitive day, there was further cause for celebration as Ruth Gray and Summer Wyatt secured an excellent runners-up finish, a fantastic result against such strong opposition.

A special thank you must go to Wightlink and Ryde School for their continued and generous support, which plays a vital role in making opportunities like this possible.
