8th October 2005
Redditch
SC travelled to Derby for the first round of the 2005 Speedo League. A gutsy
performance from the whole team gave them a well-deserved third place in the
gala.
Maximum
points were earned by Elizabeth Humphreys
in the 50m back, Dan Ruckwood in
the 15 & under 100m back and 13 & under 100m free and fly, Jess Nice in the 100m back, Danielle Harwood in the 100m Fly and Michaela
Britt in the 50m breast. There were some very close finishes with second places
for Lucy Knibbs,
James Green, Nicola Strange
and Lucy Edwards.
Further
points were gained with some fine swims in the relays where all the swimmers
fought hard for the points. Many swimmers swam up an age including Daniel Strange, Jan Freihammer, Christopher Ball, Hannah
Rolls and Olivia Laxton.
Swimming
up in the older age groups were Philip Gifford,
Robert Stanley, Suzie Britt and Emma Green. Good individual swims from Richard Fleeman, Simon Whitmore, Stuart Mackay, Michael Wood, Jenny Fleeman, Rachel Jones and Jamie Mackay
helped secure the team third place.
