Wasps
do the Deva double …
If we thought
winning the first Deva gala was a fluke, the swimmers proved us wrong
with an even more impressive result on Saturday at Winsford. We were
again hit by football injuries and gastric flu and were missing some
of our best people but everyone put in a fantastic performance on the
night to win the gala by 14 points.
With 19 first
places and 179 points, there were many stars on Saturday night we have
the space to mention only a few…
Well done to
Rachel and Charlotte in the Open ladies who out-performed the
opposition by winning all 5 of their individual races and then, helped
by Lydia and Bryony swimming up, they also won the Medley Relay.
The 11 and under
boys won 3 out of 4 individual events with James winning both the fly
and the backstroke. Lydia
and Beth also achieved the double in their individual events – a
fantastic result.
Thomas Penn
showed his versatility this week by winning the 13/u backstroke and
Jamie’s return to the team paid off with a win in the 15/u
backstroke.
Ed remains
unbeaten in the 11/u 50m free by winning again and Ellie pulled a
stunning win out of the hat in the 15/u 50m fly. Team mate Bryony also
won the 50m Breastroke.
It was a
fantastic team effort with good results in the relays too. Well done
to all those who took part.
Next week’s Deva gala has been postponed so please look on the notice board for the re-scheduled date. Our next gala is the National swimming league (used to be Speedo) on 11th October. The team sheet is on the notice board.
