BACUP’S Pioneers Cheerleaders won a stunning ten different categories at the recent United Kingdom Cheerleading Association's Spring National championships in Manchester.

Ninety girls from the club trained since December before competing against 50 squads from across the country.

Their Tiny Teenies team became the talk of the competition as they painted themselves blue for the day to become Smurfs.

Head coach Fayhe Mitchell said her squad was “the most committed, dedicated and passionate bunch of cheerleaders I have ever known in my time coaching.”
