Smth - second, Wright first!

Claire Wright reached 7th heaven, wining her record breaking 7th British Senior Title 2007 of Trampoline individual in a row with James Higgins taking the Men’s crown
Wright beat synchro partner Jaime Moore (NTGA) to capture the title with Kat Driscoll of Apollo in third.
In the exciting Men’s draw, James Higgins (NTGA) took the title from Gary Smith (Jumpers) by the narrowest of margins being victorious on the count back rule, with Gary Short (Apollo) coming third
Claire Wright's victory mimics that of Artistic gymnast Beth Tweddle who also on number 7 the previous week, Claire joked:
“I knew Beth was probably sitting in the audience watching me so I felt the extra pressure to win number 7! It was sheer relief to win” ..and as for her routine..” erm I cant remember! I just felt as though it went well and I'm obviously very pleased to have won. The rest of the year is now set up with some more World Cup events starting in Poland then hopefully Canada for a go at the Worlds”
