Trafford Development Gala 5.05.17

An exciting night of swimming at our pool on Friday, in the second Trafford Development Gala of the year.  The lead changed hands throughout the event; we lead early on, picked back the lead mid-way from Trafford Metro, but were ultimately overhauled after a couple of DQ’s and Speeding Tickets by Flixton Swim Team.  A fantastic effort by all our swimmers and feedback from the other clubs suggests it is the best gala of the year so far.  Well done.  Swimmer times are below and the result was:

Flixton Swim Team 76; Trafford Metro 67; Stretford 64; Altrincham 60.

Central Lancs Intermediate League: Atherton & Leigh

An exciting gala on Thursday night at Leigh Sports Village.  Whilst we were short of younger boy swimmers, so could not pick up points in the relays and the odd individual race, the team performed superbly well, just being beaten by 11 points: 165 v 154

Times from the event are below:
