Our Last Partner Stunt?
Looking to the future has made me realise that my cheerleading career could be nearing it’s end. It seems a strange concept to me, especially considering the past manic six months we have just had with intensive training and competing at three different competitions.
This year we have chosen to compete with FC and ICC events. We can no longer participate at other companies as the different organisation’s rules do not correspond with each other, meaning we would have to keep changing our routines. Unfortunately FC do not have another competition in England until their Nationals in July, and ICC have just had their Nationals last weekend and will not be hosting another competition until August.
I will be especially sad to leave my team, and desperately would like to compete with them again. But in July I will be moving back home and Mike, my stunt partner, has just been accepted into the police, so will be moving back home too at the start of summer.
So I wanted to share our last partner stunt routine with you.
I hope you enjoy it.

Future Cheer Triumph
We competed for the very first time as a team last weekend at Future Cheer's Saturday Night Fever Competition.
After a full day of routines, the awards were announced. The Celtics took home four first place trophies for University/Open All-Girl Level 5, All-Girl Open Stunt Group Level 5, Mike and Rachel Partner Stunt level 6 and Co-Ed Open Stunt Group level 6. Two 2nd place trophies for University/Open Co-Ed 6 and Tim and Sarah Partner Stunt 5. They were also proud of James and Laura, Sophie and Jen who both entered Partner Stunt 5, placing 4th and 6th respectively.
This weekend was a tremendous accomplishment for the Celtics, seeing their Co-Ed Group Stunt defending their title for the 16th time in a row, their All-Girl team were favourites to win the Grand Champion title and their Co-Ed team displaying complex and inspiring stunts and pyramids previously unseen in the UK, securing their consistent ranking as some of Britain’s best cheerleaders.
Post comp, the training and competition pressure seems to have caught up with everyone, especially Laura who has Bronchitis! During the competition day I thought I was going to die; the night before I didn't comit to a basket and torpedoed head first into Tim Burnett's chest from my arabian split full basket leaving me seeing stars and one side of my neck was a lot bigger than the other!

We will find out later today!

My Celtics Really Are Lovely
Yesterday saw round one of our Celtic's photoshoot, which turned out to be a slight disaster. The studio man went missing and we were kicked out early, but it was a good turn out from the team considering the short notice.
Here are a few photos which will be appearing on our website http://www.celticcheer.co.uk/ shortly.
