WOW! What an amazing weekend!

Following the Antrim & Newtownabbey Primary School Festival 2019 on Friday the UKCA’s first competition of 2019, the NI National Schools & Club Championships 2019, lit up the Antrim Forum Leisure Centre in Northern Ireland.

The weekend kicked-off with some amazing Cheerleading Level 1 performances that set the tone for the rest of the day. We were treated to some incredible performances in categories including Cheerleading, Group Stunt, Partner Stunt, Pom Dance, Cheer Dance, Urban Cheer and Pom Dance Doubles. The day ended with the all important Mascot Showdown and the Awards Ceremony.

All of the results from the Championships can be found here.

The winners of the Gateley Spirit Award were South Belfast Cheer!

Here are some of the highlights from #UKCA:
