Lisburn gymnast Ewan McAteer, who recently won a bronze medal at the British Championships, had yet more success in gymnastics, last weekend.

Ewan competed for Ireland at the 2016 Celtic Cup in the Isle of Man.

The Celtic Cup consists of teams from Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland and IOM.

Ewan, who had not competed all six pieces of apparatus in a number of months due to an injury, took the all around junior title with a personal best score.

Ewan was a member of the Ireland team which took the silver medal in the team event.

This event was an opportunity for Ewan to get back to full fitness by competing all apparatus again after his injury and to try some new skills, particularly on rings where he received an impressive score of 13.4.

The local gymnast finished in first place on rings in the competition with this score.
