Rebecca and Greta collect GOLD in a great swim. Cheered on by the City of Leeds Supporters - who were the loudest yet again .... the girls swam a great routine. They were slightly out one figure, but apart from that, the heights were good, the verticals were good, and the timing was superb.

1st Greta Hampson & Rebecca Richardson

So, the City of Leeds Medal Haul continues to rise;

2 GOLD
1 SILVER
1 BRONZE

Bronze in the 12 and Under Duet

Late results in,

In an epic swim, Hope and Natalie won Bronze in the 12 and Under Duet. This was an absolutely fantastic result seeing as Natalie lost her Nose Clip toward the climax of the routine, and the two final figures were lengthy ones and to do this without the audience noticing was a superb effort. What shone was the synchronisation between the pair. Well done to both girls.

3rd Natalie Stephenson-Quayle & Hope Lee-Fowkes

So that makes the Medal Haul for the club,

1 GOLD
1 SILVER
1 BRONZE

Its looking to be a good competition so far - and news of another GOLD to come.
