GUERNSEY Cheerleaders arrived home happy after winning two awards at the Southern Region Championships.

The squad flew back yesterday after the event in Brighton over the weekend.

The cheer section placed tenth and the dance section came second in its category.

Head coach Makela Harrison said the results were amazing considering the competition from the squads around the UK.

‘We are delighted. All the girls did really well.

‘They have worked so hard before the competition and that has paid off,’ she said.

The group of 23, aged between 12 and 24, try to make it to one UK competition a year.

* The squad will perform outside Town Church during late shopping on 10, 17, 21 and December at 7.30pm.
