M&D Team Gala 11th June

Whilst the overall result was a disappointment, finishing fourth, we were up against all three of our excellent Trafford Borough opponents for the first time in M&D this season.

We’ve beaten them before earlier this season in this gala and racing is so close between all the four teams, it could quite easily be a different result if we raced next week.  Nevertheless, excellent times again from both established and new members of the team, the details of which are found in the link below.

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.
