Another fabulous performance by our Diddy Leaguers – WELL DONE

Well done Team GAW!!  Another qualification to the National Junior League Final following a fantastic performance at the Northern Area final at the Meres Leisure Centre in Grantham.  Finishing second to Leeds is no mean feat and every one of our swimmers, coaches, poolside assistants and supporters were amazing!

An early start and nearly four hours on the bus was well worth the final result, with Gateshead and Whickham once again proving they were the best junior team in the North East and were absolutely at home against some much bigger clubs.

The final scores were:

City Of Leeds – 331

GAW – 310

Stockport Metro – 295

Northampton – 252

Southport – 252

Lough – 178

Now, we’re off to the National Final, on the 27^th November at Corby International Pool.  A few more weeks’ training for our superb athletes and a little time for those of us that are slightly older to recuperate and prepare for another magnificently exciting day.

To all of our swimmers, the Borough of Gateshead can be rightly proud of you, the Club is proud of you and you should be hugely proud of yourselves.  Don’t forget, this message applies equally to those of you that didn’t make the team this time.  This wouldn’t happen without you either.  You’re all part of the GAW team.

Well done and thank you.
