29/Apr/2008 - Edenbridge Piranhas Trophy Gala 27th April 2008
Sevenoaks was the venue for the Edenbridge Trophy Gala. I wasn`t sure what to expect in terms of results for this gala as we had a team which comprised of largely inexperienced younger swimmers and we lacked some of our older experienced swimmers. However I was pleasantly surprised to see the number of pbs and first places we managed. There were 17 personal best times and these were achieved by the following swimmers, Sophie Livett (2), Joseph Gaster, Georgia Harris (3), Benjamin Coe (2), Ben Garwood (2), Lydia Goundry, Michael Jacobs (2), Katie Coad, Oliver Coe and Katie Davis. There were 19 first places achieved by Katherine Nye, Emily Davison, Oli Coe (2), Holy Lumm, Mike Bond, Emily Coe, Katie Davis (2), Gemma Leggett, Matt Steere, Georgia Harris and Michael Jacobs. The following relay teams came first, Breaststroke squadron, Open girls medley, Open boys Medley, Open boys freestyle, 14u boys freestyle and the12u girls freestyle. Normally these performances would have guaranteed us an overall win, but we were pipped at the post by Redhill and Reigate who beat us by 7 points. The final points score was as follows:
1st Redhill and Reigate 230
2nd Orpington Ojays 223
3rd Dartford 200
4th Edenbridge `A` 162
5th Sevenoaks 159
6th Edenbridge `B` 58
A special Thankyou and Congratulations to the following swimmers who swam for the first time in an away team gala – Kate Ridley, Lydia Goundry, Georgia Harris, Charlotte Gregory (whose birthday it was on the night!), Harry Harbard, David Johansen, Benjamin Coe, Michael Jacobs and James Adams. Well done everybody!
