The group’s performance in the Harmony Classic competition earned them a score of 1,249 – just a single point behind the gold medal winners.

“Even to have earned a place in the World Championships was an amazing achievement so to win a silver medal in our debut international competition just one point behind the winners was incredible,” said Ally.

“It’s been 18 months of hard work and dedication leading up to this event and it’s been such an adventure.

“I’m bursting with pride at our achievement and it will take us all a few weeks to come back down to earth.
