On Saturday 7th of November whilst most people were out at bonfires the junior ‘A’ team travelled to Droitwich for Redditch Trophy Gala.
The team was:
Girls9’s Ellie Asprey, Ellie Childs, Charis Hipkiss, Katie White
10’s Niamh Donovan, Olivia Naylor, Bethan Walters
11’s Rosie Buswell, Grace Fellows, Chloe Lowe, Aimee Sanders
12’s Becky Bradley, Nat Dingley, Katie Jones, Emma Pay
Boys9’s Jake Buswell, Ed Maycock, Matt McCallum, Luke Willets
10’s Aaron Costigan, Michael Sedgley, Jarred Whitehouse
11’s Joe Hamilton, Tom McCallum, Aaron Townsend
12’s George Hammersley, Adam Horton, Myles Pountain
Tonight’s debuts for the ‘A’ team were Becky Bradley, Niamh Donavan, Charis Hipkiss and Aaron Townsend. Also after swimming brilliant debuts at Nuneaton in September swimming their 2nd gala for the club were Tom McCallum, Matt McCallum and Luke Willets. Once again proving valuable assets to the club.
A few changes were made tonight to the usual Diddy team. Giving others a chance to show their capabilities in both individuals and relays a few highlights of these were:-
Katie White – 9yr free 1st place with a PB time.
Becky Bradley 12yr Free first ever swim in junior ‘A’ team well deserved and an excellent 1st place.
Aaron Townsend 11yr Fly another great victory.
With 35 1st places and 14 2nd places out of 51 events it proved to be a very successful gala. I cannot mention all individuals as EVERYONE swam brilliantly. An enjoyable night with good team spirit.
Our 9 & 11 year old boys and 12 year old girls all proved
to be unbeatable winning all individuals and relays!!!
For once the BOYS outswam the GIRLS ….with 142 points to 138.
WELL DONE.
Thanks for everyone’s help on pool side.
