Senior Fenland League Round 1
Saturday 7th July saw a full squad of 22 St Neots Swans travel to Newmarket to compete in this years’ first round of the Senior Fenland League. This was the first time this group of Swans has swum in the Senior Fenland League, so the evening was very much a learning curve for all.
Bottisham hosted the evening and the other teams competing were Diss Otters and First Strokes.
The evening started with a round of fast paced relays; 100 Medley relay for over 13’s and 100 Free relays for 12 and under’s. It continued with the more familiar 100m and 50m individual, all strokes, races for age categories Open, 14/U, 12/U and 10/U. The evening was rounded off with another burst of 100 medley relays and 100free relays.
Whilst St Neots finished with 132 points in last position, there were some excellent swims performed on the night, with Captain Ellie Thompson swimming a PB in the 100Free to finish first.
PB’s were obtained by Alice Jack, Matthew Albone, Hannah Williams, Ellie Thompson, Ailish Gray, Jack Ricketts, Noah Brace, Elisha Gray, Marie-Antioinette Quintilla, Amy Rickwood, Emily Williams and Aoife Gray.
Thanks to Bottisham for hosting and looking forward to Round 2 in September!
