Nail-biting one-point win for town
swimmers
ASHBOURNE Swimming Club were in
action at Uttoxeter pool and finished off the 2007 Four Towns Team event
with a rousing performance.
It was a tense evening from the start but Ashbourne finally triumphed to
win the last round with a total of 102 points - only one ahead of their
nearest rivals Leek.
There were many memorable swims and several personal best times - even
though the swimmers had to perform without the customary starting blocks
- Dove Valley had had new blocks installed only that week but had to
remove them at the last minute for safety reasons.
The team had 11 first place finishes from Rachel Ripley, Johny Riley,
the mixed 12 years medley relay team, the mixed open medley relay team,
Nicole Bailey, Rebecca Wright, captain Kirsty Durose, the mixed 14 years
medley relay team, Casper Tynan, Georgia Roberts and the mixed open
freestyle relay team.
The team also clocked up five swims which were "too fast" from Nicole
Bailey, Joe Haswell, Casper Tynan, Robert Wheeler and Jasmin Ford. It
was altogether a very satisfactory evening for Ashbourne Swimming Club
finishing overall in Third place for the year 2007. It was also Linda
French's last evening in charge of the team and she would like to say a
very big well done to the swimmers and also a huge thank you to everyone
who has made her time at the club so enjoyable
July 2007
Ashbourne Swimming Club has recently
had 2 very busy weekends competing in the 3rd round of the 2007 4 Towns
Competition and the annual Belper Marlins Open Meet held at the City of
Derby Pool.
The 4 Towns event proved to be a very tight competition with all teams
finishing very close in the final points total. Ashbourne were
especially unfortunate as they had no fewer than 9 swims from Jasmin
Ford, Jonny Riley, Rachel Ripley, Casper Tynan, Kirsty Durose, Joe
Haswell, Tom Haswell and Ellen Roberts which were “too fast” and
therefore did not receive any points. This is good news for the club as
it shows the considerable improvement shown by many of the swimmers.
There was however also 12 first place finishes from Amy Poynton, James
Waterhouse, Nicole Bailey, Tom Haswell, Tom Gadsby, Georgia Roberts,
Ellen Roberts, 14yrs medley relay team, and Kirsty Durose. The final
points total for the evening was Dove Valley 111pts, Leek 110 pts,
Ashbourne 102 pts and Matlock 66 pts.
On the following weekend (7 July) 17 swimmers from Ashbourne competed in
the annual City of Derby Open Meet with numerous personal best times and
fantastic performances. First place finishes were achieved by Heidi
Durose (100m Br/s), Kirsty Durose (100m bk/s, 100m br/s) Joe Haswell
(100m f/s) and Sarah Brandrick (100m fly, 100m f/s). Kirsty Durose,
Jasmin Ford, Rebecca French, Tom Haswell, Paul Heaney, Jonny Riley and
Ellen Roberts also all achieved top 3 finishes in their respective
events which again shows the depth and improvement in the Ashbourne
squad. Personal best times and good performances were also recorded by
Demi Buxton, Charlotte Highton, Rachel Ripley, Georgia Roberts, Ellen
Ward, Rebecca Wright and Robert Wheeler
The club will now revert to “summer training” of only 2 nights per week
(Monday and Wednesday) for the main squad. and will look forward to
various competitions taking place after the school summer holidays
