North Beds Head to Nationals!!

When North Beds had a cheerleading lesson for one of our club meetings little did we know that it would take us all to Blackpool!  Having had the lesson, 10 of North Beds finest, yet unlikely cheerleaders, took on the challenge of perfecting the routine for pre-rally.  

Having persuaded the boys to wear skirts and leggings (It didn’t take much!!), we headed off for pre-rally.  The county also welcomed Norfolk to the day’s event making it not only county but area round of the competition!  With the boys catching the audience’s attention with their very own version of the Hakka, we managed to win to our surprise! Buzzing with our success we were keen to show the rest of the country what North Beds and Bedfordshire were made of.  

So with a few more practices and tweaks it was time for nationals!   

Andy, Simon and I headed up with the rest of county for the AGM on Friday and were joined by the rest of the team on Sunday ready for the finals.  It was safe to say that we were under dressed and once again, probably the oldest team there!  Despite this we all put our all in and where cheered on by the rest of the county.

Sadly it was not our year and we came 10^th!  However I have to say I am proud of our achievements as the North Beds give it a go attitude and giving 110% did not go unrecognized with us getting one of the highest scores for spirit.  So although we didn’t win I still stand by our chant:

North Beds are the Best, Better than All the Rest!!!
