Tough Start to National League Campaign |
|
On Saturday 10th October, Dunstable travelled to Stafford for the opening round of the 2009 National Swimming League. Following on from last year's success, Dunstable gained promotion into Division Two of the West Midlands League.
With a team weakened by illness and injury and many swimmers having to "swim up" in the relay's, Dunstable had to battle against strong opposition. The step up in class was evident with the Midlands club's proving formibable opponent;s. The Dunstable team kept up their spirits and recorded an excellent 17 personal best individual swims (PB's), as well as 2 race wins. Results: 1) Boldmere "B" 233 points 2) Redditch 213 points 3) Stafford Apex 211 points 4) Eckington 202 points 5) Dunstable 137 points |
