PTL win for bithday boy Chris!

Congratulations to all PTL swimmers who defeated Ballymoney 608 to 534 at Cascades on Saturday night and made it a special 'birthday win' for 'D' group swimmer Chris Grimley.This was our first home swim and it was a well deserved victory despite a number of fine individual efforts from Ballymoney. As always the Individual Medley Relays gave a good indication of the strengths of both teams with Portadown winning six of the eight events and taking an early points lead that was kept right to the end. On such a night when so many swimmers did so well it was difficult to pick out individuals but the 'B' Girls of Eden Magwood, Rachel Chapman, Lauren Robinson and Mia Gershovitz dominated their age group throughout the gala. Abbie McCullough was top for the 'A' Girls and Beth Irwin took all four strokes in the 'C' Girls event strongly supported by Susanna McQuade, Chloe Black and Derbalah Guy. Top boys included Daniel Chambers, Cathal Meredith, Andrew Irwin, Morgan Magwood, Dean Gershovitz and Kurt Black. Roisin Meredith was the star performer for the 'D' Girls. As always thanks to all who came to officiate, help, or just cheer. Our thanks also go to the coaches and swimmers of Ballymoney ASC for their assistance and efforts, we wish them well for the rest of the season.
