Witney retained their hold on the Aldertons Newsagents Trophy following an exciting finish to the gala at Aylesbury.

With the lead constantly changing during the evening, it was once again Witney's consistency throughout all age groups that saw them take overall victory.

Ten-year-old Jenna Parry produced an eye-catching performance in her 50m butterfly to take the swimmer-of-the-match award - the runner-up votes being shared between Guy Walker (winner of the boys' 10 & under butterfly) and Elliot Jozwin for a super swim in the boys' 14 & under backstroke.

Result: 1 Witney 232pts, 2 Leighton Buzzard 229, 3 Rushden 215, 4 Aylesbury 200, 5 Dunstable 183, 6 Henley 149, 7 Putteridge 112.
