The boys from Marriotts Gym Club made Sunday's long trip to Lowestoft worthwhile for the Eastern Region National Development Plan (NDP) finals.
Top performance of the day came from Andrew Henry who took gold in the intermediate two competition with a score of 63.3.
Andrew will now represent the Eastern Region at the national finals in Newcastle at the end of April. He will be joined by clubmate Jack Maydom who finished fourth in the same competition with a score of 58.7.
Also joining them at the national final will be Daniel Gardner who took silver in the under-12 elite grade and Sebastian Jaunzens who came fifth in the elite under-10 grade.
Keir Chettleborough competed in the under-16 event but due to a finger injury he was only able to contest four pieces of apparatus. He still put in good performances.
Some of the club's young gymnasts were also in action, some taking part in their first regional final.
