This resulted in an amazing evening, made even more incredible by the incredible spirit and sportsmanship shown by all the participants and their parents!

Great work tonight. Not just cause we won but the effort that the girls put in is down to you and your team! You have persisted and inspired the girls! Tonight I was so proud yet had nothing to do with it all so massive big ups to you and your ladies! Top night.

Pioneers Show and Awards Evening 2013

Last week, the Pioneers held a Show and Awards Evening. Pioneers master Ian Wroe sent us this information about the event –

“We would like to send a huge thanks to Caino for hosting the event for us and to president of UKCA Pat Hawkins as the guest of honour. Nearly 100 cheerleaders took part in the show in front of family and friends. Caino did his usual great job as compere and Pat was kind enough to present the Pioneer trophies to the winners. As head coach, Fayhe Mitchell planned a fabulous evening, and surprised us all with a solo performance during the finale. It was a great evening to be part of the cheerleading family”
