Wiltshire ASA Moonraker Winter League on Saturday.
Jenna Beckett – B Team Comeback
Dolphin
B claimed their second victory of the competition at the Springfield Leisure Centre,
Corsham, winning 32 of their 39 events with disqualifications depriving them of a
further 3 top positions. The girls’ under
15 year quintet of Jade
Cholod, Ashlee
Cox, Megan
Jones, Zoe
Pattenden and Rebecca
Saunders were particularly impressive on the night.
Results:
Dolphin B – 140 points, Corsham B – 114, Westbury – 81, Malmsbury – 48
Meanwhile,
the A team finished a comfortable second behind the hosts at Trowbridge Leisure Centre,
recording 11 firsts and 11 seconds in a very friendly and exciting gala. Special praise
goes to Lewis
Ford and Swim Channel’s Alex
Johansson-Brown who performed marvellously in their
first ever competitive outing for a Swindon Dolphin team, having been called up at short
notice to provide cover for more experienced colleagues.
Results:
Trowbridge A – 204, Swindon Dolphin A – 177, Corsham A – 161,
– 98, Melksham – 91, Tigersharks B – 79
Alex Johansson-Brown (11)
A young C team found
it tough going at the Five Rivers Leisure Centre in Salisbury but turned in a plucky
performance and demonstrated an incredible team spirit and some terrific skills to
finish fifth out of seven. However, it
was the men’s and women’s open swimmers – Anthony
Clark, Nick Beasant, Andrew
Holborow, William McKemey, Ben Emmerson, Helen
Hanks, Mandy Smith, Tessa
Hills & Sarah Kelly who
secured many of the valuable points. Trowbridge
B deservedly took the top honours.
Results:
Trowbridge B – 240 points, Warminister – 236, Durrington – 173, Swindon ASA – 166,
Dolphin C – 108, Devizes – 100, Pewsy & Tidworth – 48
