Brother and sister are champions!
OLLERTON dance students, brother and sister William (10) and Sarah Jennings (7) have just returned as Irish Dance Champions after competing in the All Ireland Championships held in Dublin last week.
Sarah and William, who have only been dancing for four months, are pupils of The O'Dwyer Academy of Irish Dance in Ollerton.
The talented pair flew to Dublin to take part in the primary section of the Championship, but when they arrived their section had already danced.
However, their dance teacher came to the rescue and arranged for both the children to dance in the higher section and all were stunned when they took home prizes.
Sarah won three Gold Medals and was crowned third in the Championship, as well as being placed third in the All Ireland Overseas Championship, and William won two Gold Medals and came eighth in the Championship
