Worcester’s swimmers put in a sterling performance on Sunday 19th April to retain the Worcestershire Winter League title that they won in 2014.
In what is normally a very tight contest, Worcester proved convincing winners… their margin of victory an impressive 38 points over their local rivals.
The final scores were Worcester “A” 208, Redditch 170, Stourbridge 169, Halesowen 145, Worcester “B” 102.
Whilst the “B” team could only finish 5th, it had been a tremendous effort from them to qualify for the Final – the only “B” team there, ahead of many other Club’s “A” teams…and whilst points were hard to come by, every swimmer performed brilliantly with 11-year olds Louis Doyle (1st 50m Freestyle) and Max Rice (2nd 50m Breaststroke) really catching the eye.
The “A” team swimmers though really stole the show, winning 18 of the 40 events, including all 8 relays, proof positive of the strength in depth at the Club at the moment.
Individual winners included Izzy Trow (11/u 50m Backstroke), Daniel Day (11/u 50m Backstroke), Matthew Richards (13/u 100m Butterfly), Kai Gooden-Morris (13/u 100m Backstroke), Lucy Clayton (15/u and Open 100M Breaststroke), Sam Hall (15/u 100m Butterfly and Breaststroke), Oscar Brain (15/u 100m Backstroke) and Tazmin Pugh (Open 100m Butterfly).
However, above all, this was a real team effort and every single swimmer contributed fully to the success.
