Fantastic two years

Meanwhile, Ryan commented: "I've had a fantastic two years with Trinity Girls, who have enjoyed one of the most successful periods in their contesting history.

The band will continue to thrive in the Second Section and I look forward to watching them grow and to still have a distant partnership with them in some way."
