SWIMMING: Unlucky Witney edged out

9:00am Wednesday 24th June 2009 in Sport

Witney's youngsters just missed out in their defence of the Reade Trophy at Windsor.

With the lead constantly changing throughout the evening, it was only a couple of ‘speeding tickets’ which separated the top four teams at the end.

Ten-year-old Larissa Dalgarno produced a super swim to win the 11 & under girls’ freestyle and took the club’s swimmer-of-the-match award – the runner-up votes being shared between Matthew Floyd (winner of the 11 & under boys’ butterfly) and Finn Dawkins (second and third in the 15 & under boys’ backstroke and individual medley).

Other Witney winners were Amy-Louise Harris (individual medley), Georgia French (backstroke), Megan Sulley (breaststroke), and Rowan Prosser (freestyle).

Result: 1 Aylesbury & Bracknell 148pts, 2 Witney 143, 3 Henley 142, 4 Teddington 89.

Witney personal bests: A Felstead (butterfly), A Foggett (IM), D Frost (butterfly), S Webster (breaststroke), M Colling (IM), G Kendall (backstroke), S Bark (freestyle).
