Wolverhampton Gala Results

As expected it was the 9/U girls who recorded the best results getting a 2^nd place in the 4^th event the medley with 1.26.72 only 6/10ths less than winners Redditch with 1.25.10.

In girls 9/U Free Style it was a 3^rd place finish for Pershore with 1.16.97 only losing out on 2^nd place Droitwich by 8/10ths (1.16.18).

The women's each age F/S also gained 2^nd place with 2.10.75 over 2 secs ahead of 3^rd place Droitwich,with Redditch again coming 1^st with 2.04.69.

The boy's 13 yr medley recorded a 3^rd place finish with 2.40.66, Worcs coming 1^st with 2.29.72. and Wyre Forest 2^nd on 2.31.76.

There was a 4^th place for Pershore in the mixed open medley recording 1.05.41 only 1 sec over 3^rd place Droitwich themselves recording 1.04.25. Redditch came in under 1 min with 59.72 to take 1^st place.

Pershore recorded 4^th place in the very first event the Boys 13 yr F/S 4 x 50m with 2.15.70 missing out on 3^rd by just 1.4 sec to Redditch.

All other place finishes were 5^th & 6^th but often only by a few seconds. The mixed 13 yr relay being one where we lost out to Droitwich by just 0.5 secs and again the mixed 11 medley losing to Evesham by 1.3 Pershore's times being 1.37.78. Final results were:

1^stààààà.Redditchààà..200

2^ndàààààWyre Forestàà193

3^rdààààà.Worcesteràà.. 165

4^thààààà.Droitwich àà...152

5^th àààààEvesham ààà. 98

6^th àààààPershore ààà...67

I would say there is easily 14 extra pts there for the taking with dives in at the shallow end and entering a masters team (even if they came in last each time). A more optimistic view would see an extra 30 pts coming our wayààààà.and that means other teams reducing their tally.

We're the ones who can see the great big gigantic search lights at the end of the tunnel ààààà other teams are possibly flat out and treading water àààààA message for the other clubs àààà

WATCH OUT WE'RE COMING FOR YOU !!
