Worcester Winter League Round 1 – Abbey Stadium, Redditch

Worcester Winter League – Abbey Stadium, Redditch, Saturday 18th January

This Saturdays Gala was Tom Readers first official gala as senior coach who having only joined us late last year has already had a great effect on many of the senior swimmers.  The Gala was a great success with 18 personal best times and 2 unofficial PBs, including:

  • Grace Morgan, Jamie Keyte, Shantay Douglas, Elliot Langston  in their 100m freestyle
  • Danya Gaddu, Jamie Keyte, Jessica Jones and Sukvir Khella in the 100m Backstroke
  • Dan Smith, Danya Gaddu and Chanel Kang in the 100m Butterfly
  • Jessica Deans, Kynan Walker in their 100m Breaststroke Races
  • Finally, Dylan Scruton in the 50 freestyle, Sophie Blackwell and Dylan Langston in the 50m Backstroke, Dylan Langston also got a personal best in his 50m Breaststroke Lily Spencer in the 50m Butterfly.
  • Unofficial PB’s were Harvey Kang in his 50m Butterfly and Daniel Cox in his 100m Backstroke

Overall we only had one win from Dan Smith in the Open 100m Breaststroke, but there were several close calls. A huge congratulation to all the team who came a well deserved 5th place, which was a great result when up against 4 very strong teams.

A Massive Thank you to all swimmers and volunteers for their help the gala wouldn’t have happened without you:  Coach Tom Reader, Chaperone Mandy Blizard, and Helen Pordage Time keepers, Mark Blackwell and Cher Jones, Referee Keith Munday and Judge Lucy Gale.
