CRUSADER GALA REPORT
- Saturday evening saw the second round of division 3 of the Crusader
League, although the first actual gala due to the one at Crewe having been
postponed. We had a very "new" team with the following swimmers
attending their first gala representing Market Drayton:
Joe Stone, Eloise Lamb,
James Parton, Connor
Bentley, Jack Healy,
Lewis Danks, Saphina
Tongue, Sam Mabbutt and
Frances Derricutt.
We had some fabulous swims and came away with 17 new PBs,
Joe Stone knocked an amazing 7 seconds off his
50 free time - well done Joe! Dan Scriven
came in first in the men's open 100IM, Ed Saxon
in the boys U12 fly, the boys U12 freestyle relay also came first with
Ed Saxon, Toby Cordova,
Harry Riley and Alfie
Thomas working excellently as a team.
Emma Scriven 1st in 12u girls breaststroke,
Caroline Saxon in the ladies open freestyle,
Dan Scriven in the men's open breaststroke and the men's open relay
team consisting of Dan Scriven,
Jack Booth, Richard
Grindrod and Rob Wenlock came shooting
home first by a clear 3 seconds.
Overall we came 4th with a score of 183, which considering we had 4 declared
relay teams for which we would not receive any points, we did very well
indeed. Thank you to all who helped to organize the gala and all those
who helped out on the night. Without this help we would not be able to
host a gala, thanks also to the Captains and Vice Captains for keeping the
team motivated throughout the evening.
COUNTY SWIMMING GALA
- Ed Saxon swam for Shropshire in the inter county gala
held at Fenton over the last weekend in January. His events were 4 x 50
medley relay where he swam the fly leg and the individual 50 fly, both in
the 11 year age group. The relay was first and he gained a pb swimming
36.94. He went on to swim another pb in the individual race with
36.86. This ranks him no. 1 for 50 fly in the county for 11 year old boys.
