White Horse League Round 2
30 Apr 2022
31 Saxon Crown swimmers travelled down to Crook Log in Bexleyheath to represent the Club in Round 2 of this year’s White Horse League. We were delighted once again to see so many of our swimmers achieve new PBs in their events.
Congratulations to our relay teams, Boys 9-11 years represented by Harry Gibb, Ollie Wharfe, Matthew Shirley and Alex Lin, who placed 3rd in their Freestyle and Medley Relay events and our Men’s Open team, represented by Kombo Kachidza, Callum Hennessey, Joseph Lozada and Nat Amos, who came 2nd in their Freestyle relay, a mere 0.52s behind winners Gravesend (Kombo and Nat assured me this evening that they will be the victors in the next Round).
Congratulations and well done also to our swimmers who placed in their individual events, 3rd places to Maisie van der Ploeg 200m Freestyle, Ruth Allen 50m Breaststroke, Charlotte Berrido and Roman Munroe 50m Fly and 2nd places to Maisie van der Ploeg in her 200IM, Harry Gibb, Darragh Brady, Abdul-Aziz Bakar and Ellie Harden in their 50m Backstroke events.
Although the team dropped a place this time, coming 5th, we increased our point share from 194 in Round 1 to 210 in this Round placing us 27 points behind 4th placed Erith, who were 34 points ahead
of us in the previous round, and just 33 points behind 3rd placed White Oak. Well done and thank you to all our swimmers for their tremendous efforts and achievements.
Brilliant to see the support that all our swimmers gave their teammates and excellent support from our supporters on the balcony, as always.
