Joshua, competing two new dives from the five metre platform, finished second to claim silver.

For Alfie and Jorden this was their first time competing at Age group level and they did exceptionally well, with Alfie winning bronze and Jorden finishing a respectable eighth.

Next up was Group B, which saw James Pollard, Katie Cripps and Grace Connolly take to the board.

A very close competition saw Grace finishing seventh and Katie narrowly missing out on bronze by 2.35 points.
