West Craven v Accrington
Wednesday, April 29 2009
A panic stricken start to Wednesday 29/04/09 evenings gala, when the staff had turned up at Hyndburn Leisure Centre to be greeted by a smaller than ordered coach! Luckily a couple of parents had decided to go by car so therefore it was sufficient, although full! (Many Thanks).Everyone was in good spirits as the coach made it's way to West Craven.
Although there were some disqualifications on both sides, Accrington knuckled down and swam well with some very close races won, which at the end of the night gave us a fantastic win with a score of West Craven 50pts and. Accrington 63pts.
A big well done and thank-you to everyone who took part in the recent gala at West Craven.
We have swum all our away galas now. Our next gala is at home to Great Harwood. If you remember at the away gala we only just got beat by 3 pts by the Otters, so this gala should be quite an exciting thriller. All your vocal support will be very much appreciated like it was on Wednesdays Gala (when the cheering nearly deafened everyone!!).
The club would like to thank all the parents who made it to West Craven and supported the team and also to the swimmers themselves who again worked and behaved so well, a credit to the club.
