Members of a Dover cheerleading squad have returned from a competition with 17 trophies - five of them for first places.

The Dover Cheerleading Academy teams spent two days at the competition, organised by the British Cheerleading Association, in Eastbourne.

Under their team name the DCA Diamonds, they were competing against 40 other teams.

The first place trophies were in the Tiny Dance Pom, Youth Dance Small Jazz, Youth Dance Small Hip Hop, Senior Dance Small Hip Hop and Senior Cheerleading categories.

All the cheerleading routines were choreographed and coached by Sarah McLoughlin and Teighlor McGeehan with the two hip hop entries choreographed by Sammie and Jessie Marsden.
