Ben Goodall, from Harwell, expressed his delight after finally winning the age 17-21 tumbling title at the British Championships in Birmingham.

The 20-year-old said: “It feels brilliant to be British champion, having won silver for the last two years. I’m super happy with my performance, especially having battled injury to get here.

Goodall, who missed the 2016 season with a back injury, added: “I’ve been suffering recently so just to be here is brilliant.”
