3DEGREEZ Allstarz, Hereford Cheerleaders had the pleasure of HM Lord-Lieutenant of Herefordshire, The Dowager Countess of Darnley CVO attend an evening of cheerleading training with them at Hinton community centre.

During the evening on June 12 she watched their youngest recreational class; Dinkiez (age three - six years), a duet competition performance from Heidi and Freya, followed by watching competition teams: Dynamoz (under eights) and Distinction (under 16s) practice their pre competition training sessions.

She was delighted by the talents of the young athletes, along with impressive skills, stamina and routines from both the competition teams.

She spoke to the athletes about why they love cheerleading so much and shared an interest in the competition scoring system as well as the local displays 3Degreez attend across Herefordshire.

Coach Ruth commented: "We were very lucky to have such a supportive, enthusiastic and important lady visit our club giving all our coaches and athletes a boost just a few weeks before the national championship that many of our teams will be competing in".

Coach Katie added: "We want to thank HM Lord-Lieutenant of Herefordshire, The Dowager Countess of Darnley CVO for taking the time to visit our cheerleaders, they were all so excited to meet her and it was such an incredible experience for them all".
