Teletots Win Swim-Off Gala!

All the hard work put in by the Teletot squad over the last six weeks paid off last night (Friday) as the team confirmed their Division 2 status in some style by actually finishing ahead of Larne with Coleraine being relegated to Division 1. This was quite an achievement especially as Larne had already beaten the young squad earlier in the season. Portadown opened the gala by winning three of the four mixed medley relays, a dream start which settled any last minute nerves and set the mood for the rest of the team. All swimmers showed great determination to stay ahead in the individual strokes and despite a strong final surge by Larne, Portadown finished by winning two of the four freestyle relay events ending up with a grand total of 307 points, 9 points ahead of Larne on 298 with Coleraine some way behind. A big thanks once again to the travelling support who cheered from the gallery but the real stars were the young swimmers who not only looked superb in their club gear but swam their hearts out on the night. Congratulations to everyone! (Anyone for a KFC?)
