There were many other good placings throughout the day within the top five, and for many of these members this was their first Welsh competition.
Barbara Digby-North, who runs the club which trains locally at Crickhowell and Pontypool, congratulated the children on their success, and the extra they had put in.
Although the Pontypool class is now full, there are some vacancies at the Crickhowell venue for those who are interested in the sport.
