More than 100 gymnasts showcased their abilities at the Whangārei Academy of Gymnastics Club Competition this weekend.

The annual event was held at Trigg Sports Arena in Kensington on Saturday and 110 gymnasts from five clubs around Northland - and one from Auckland - took part.

WAGS manager Vicki MacDonald said the competition was "really good".
