Banbridge win Teletot gala

Banbridge were deserved winners of Saturday night's Teletot gala. Although there were several good performances from individual Portadown swimmers the end result was never in doubt. The Banbridge team swimming in their own home pool took the lead in the medley relay events and drew further ahead in the individual strokes. A big 'well done' to Joel Milligan who impressed everyone with a fine series of swims. Congratulation too to some of our very young swimmers who will improve as they get older and that little bit stronger. The team will face City of Belfast in the next gala on 7th March.

PTL Fixtures

The next PTL fixture is scheduled for Saturday 7th March in Ballymena. This is a PTL 'Time Trial' gala an event at which we have done rather well in recent years. The gala is to start at 5 o'clock and further details will be posted as soon as we receive confirmation. Our next competitive gala is an away swim against Banbridge on Saturday 28th February. Full details will be avaiilable next Wednesday night (25th) at the front desk.

Teletot Update

Our next Teletot Gala is against Banbridge (away) on Saturday 21st February. All of the squad are asked to meet at Banbridge pool at 5.45pm ready for a prompt start! Banbridge will provide stiff competition so we will have to give that extra 10% effort. Remember this is a smaller pool than Portadown so it is important to 'go like the hammers'right from the start. Congratulations to all who achieved new PB's against Coleraine and for those who just missed out there are plenty of opportunities to improve over the next couple of months. Our next gala is away to City of Belfast on Saturday 7th March closely followed by a trip to Larne on Friday 27th March. Good luck to everyone for Saturday. Remember! Anyone swimming on Saturday night should not be at Casades on Saturday morning - you will need all that energy so have a 'wee lie in'!

Teletots win at Cascades!

Congratulations to all members of the Teletot squad who swam so well against Coleraine last night and earned a well deserved victory. This was a much improved performance and the end result was never really in doubt. The team contained several changes from that which lost to Lurgan earlier this month and the whole squad responded to the call to give 100%. It was a welcome return to form for some of our established swimmers but those new to the squad made it look like they have been team members for a long time. The final score was Portadown 214 Coleraine 186. Thanks to all who helped make the gala such a success and to our visitors from Coleraine whose team were a credit to their club. Remember the team is selected on fastest times and there are several swimmers keen to take their place in the Teletot squad. A full results sheet will be available on Wednesday night.
