Summer League Round 3
Tigersharks
A won the third round of the Moonraker Summer League with 17 points to spare over
Swindon Dolphin A at the Link Centre on Saturday Night; Trowbridge A were third and
Swindon Dolphin B finished fourth.
With
most of the National qualifiers and European bound masters away in
for the long course training camp and a few other regulars from both teams unavailable,
there was an unfamiliar look to the Dolphin A and B team sheets. However,
this was seen as a golden opportunity for some of the younger and less experienced
swimmers to demonstrate their ability and they all played their part in a memorable
gala.
