Reading gains promotion
Winners, Maxwell from Aylesbury stormed to an easy overall victory but this was expected with a team that contained 13 national swimmers and an old friend, Craig Gibbons, who will be taking part in next years Olympic Trials. An ex-Reading swimmer, Alex Perrin, will be joining us with his Dorking team who gain promotion in 3rd place. But Saturday evening was all about our youngsters and with help from some of our top Masters swimmers, we are now back in Division One West for next seasons campaign. Thank you all and well done. |
