The event provides the opportunity for the Age Group divers to test themselves against divers from across the south and South East and the competition was fierce with some fantastic performances from the Plymouth divers with the fantastic support of their coach, Tommy Davis.

The A category, for 16 to 18-year-olds saw Madeleine Elliott, Eva Lang, Evie Royal and Martha Ticehurst produce some outstanding dives on all three boards. Madeleine, Eva and Evie dived superbly and were all changing places throughout the competition across all boards as they battled each other for the medals.

On 1m, it was Evie who come out on top winning an excellent gold with a brilliant back one and half somersault dive, just pushing Eva into the silver medal spot.
