A COUNTY youngster is jumping for joy after winning the National Grade 4 Men's Gymnastics Championships.

Brad Lewis, who goes to the Bishop of Hereford's Bluecoat School, competed against 40 other boys on six pieces of apparatus, as well as conditioning exercise.

As a member of the South West team, Brad already won a silver medal before claiming individual gold at the GMAC Centre in Birmingham.

The 12-year-old, who is from Hereford, is coached by Karen Brewer.
