Boys team takes gold, girls third at M&D Prog B Final

Stretford’s boys’ team stormed to gold and the girls’ team secured third place in the Manchester and District Programme B Final at Sale Leisure Centre tonight (Saturday 10 March).

Competing against Trafford Metro, Glossop, Horwich and Flixton in the event for competitors aged 13 and over,  Stretford swimmers put in fantastic performances in both individual and relay events  victory.

Their efforts weren’t quite enough to take the overall team title, though. That went to our neighbours Trafford Metro, with Horwich second and Stretford third.

Well done everyone!
