The short journey up the M6 to Cheslyn Hay proved to be an interesting and somewhat mixed night for the band of swimmers from Perry Beeches SSS swimming club. PBSSS came third on the night with 217 points, 4 points behind Bromsgrove on 221 points, and the winners were Cheadle on 238 points.

First places on the night went to Jamie Keyte (Boys Open 200m IM, Open 100m Backstroke and Open 100m Freestyle); Girls 11/under freestyle relay team and the 11/under medley relay team(Becky Gulliver, Catrise Hart, Trearna Hart and Kadijha Cox); Boys 11/under freestyle relay team (Harvey Higgins, Lewis Carless, Ellison Hart and Vinaye Gaddu); Ladies Open Medley relay team (Jess Jones, Sareena Gaddu, Katie Gulliver and Danya Gaddu); Catrise Hart (Girls 11/under 50m Backstroke); Ellison Hart (Boys 11/under 50m Backstroke); Katie Gulliver (Ladies Open 100m Butterfly and  Open 100m Freestyle); Becky Gulliver (Girls 11/under 50m Butterfly and 11/under 50m Freestyle); Jess Jones (Ladies Open 100m Backstroke); and last but by no means least the ‘ladies’ Open 6 * 2 lengths freestyle relay team (Sareena Gaddu, Danya Gaddu, Jessica Jones, Sophia Deans, Becky Gulliver and Katie Gulliver – this team included an 11 year old and a 12 year old!).

With 35 top 3 finishes out of the 50 races the team should be very proud of their performances.

The team  must now wait with baited breath to see their table position and where they will be travelling to for the second round.
