Three Counties Gala 27th June
Congratulations to the swimmers from Walsall who were chosen to represent Staffordshire last weekend at the Three Counties Gala. Staffordshire won by two points in a close fought event, in part thanks to some great swims from the Walsall representatives.
First time representing the County were Reiss Harrison, Ellie-May Hayward and Courtney Poxon. Also swimming were Kieran Smith, James Booker and Eddy Martin.
Well done to Reiss, James and Eddy for winning their individual events.
Junior League Gala 26th June 2010
Walsall competed in a difficult draw for round three of the Junior league on Saturday. The team performed really well and finished in fourth place.
Midland Youth Championships 1st & 2nd May 2010
Walsall were represented by Rebecca Rackham and Luke Griffiths at the Youth championships in Coventry.
Rebecca competed in the 50m, 100m and 200m Breast Stroke reaching the final in all three events. She finished 8th in the 50m, 7th in the 100m and 6th in the 200m.
Luke competed in the 200m and 400m Freestyle, and the 200m Backstroke. He narrowly missed the final in the 200m Back.
Congratulations to both swimmers.
A further Walsall swimmer who is not yet old enough to compete individually at these championships did take part as a member of the Royal Wolverhampton School relay teams. Keiran Smith swam the anchor leg in the 400m and 800m freestyle relays and did the Backstroke leg in the Medley relay. They finished 4th in the 800m Free and Medley relays and Keiran swam some great splits.
