Mercian League Round 1

BOOM!!! A well deserved fourth place (only 6 points behind third place!) from the team at Tamworth in Saturday night’s round one of the Mercian League Gala. After a busy fixture list last weekend the swimmers came out fighting in a tough competition. Well done to all of tonight’s swimmers, and an extra shout out for the Junior Squad swimming up in a bucketful of events.

Half of the races resulted in personal best times 🙂 Thank you to the swimmers, parents, and all of the volunteers at the gala for helping to make the gala the success that it was.

Looking forwards to round 2 now – keep your eyes peeled for the Teamsheet!
