Final round up

No more medals to report but an a great afternoon with both teams performing well.

Firstly, to tie up the earlier report, Rebecca finished 7th in the 12 & Under Solo.

Now to teams;

In an exciting 12 & Under team event the final positions were;

1. Bristol Central 114.300
2. Rushmoor 106.834
3. Reading 106.819
4. Portsmouth 106.577
5. Trafford 106.500
6. City of Leeds 104.875

So, Bristol Central, well above the field on their own, but just 0.334 separating 4 teams. With penalties awarded to City of Leeds for only having six swimmers they are not too far the pace. So well done to the team.

As for the 15/16/17 team, the results show,

1. Rushmoor 125.393
2. Reading 124.910
3. Bristol 120.232
4. City of Leeds 118.686

Again, as in Scotland, the teams routine score was better than Bristols, but when the figure score was taken into account the team was edged out of the medal positions.

So the final tally was;

1 Silver
1 Bronze

Compared to 3 bronze medals in 2010.

Final word of thanks to everyone involved for helping out, I won't mention specific names as we all know who I mean when I say a big thanks to the coaches, team manager, chaperones, drinks package organisers, those organising transport, those arranging accommodation, those collecting meals, organising and calling the bingo, and not forgetting the football scratch card, without which I would not have won my precious £10 !!!

First Medals

The results for the 12 & Under Solo just in and the first medal for the Club with Melissa getting bronze. Rebecca had an excellent swim as well that the commentator was full of praise for as her routine really demonstrates her flexibility and height in the water. Not got the full results yet, so not got her final placing.tt

However, I do know that Rosie and Jess swam a great routine and in a very close finish pipped the Reading pair of Williams and Usher to get a Silver Medal.

That's

1 Silver
1 Bronze

And teams to come this afternoon.
