Amersham's Masters Gala

swimmers put on a class performance at the Aqua Vale Pool, Aylesbury, on Saturday night. The event was an inter club gala for a trophy for the club scoring the most points.
The team of 8 men and five women finished third, but had they fielded a full team the result could have been a whole lot different. Needing 8 ladies insdtead of the valient 5 meant a loss of valuable points! For they were unable to compete in several of the womens races losing valuable points! However, super individual wins for Barry Porter 40+ fly, Ben Rees U.40 fly, Bruce Snodgrass U.40 back, and relay wins in the freestyle and fly relays with Ben Rees, Tony Lewis, Jason Mann, Mark Tudor and Bruce Snodgrass, plus the breaststroke relay with Ethan Hall, Barry Porter,Tony Lewisand Jason Mann gave the team something to shout about.
Joelle Jeans excelled in the ladies U.40 freestyle winning by 3/100ths! For the girls Jane Stalker and Caroline Whittaker gained good points for 2nd places and joined by Katherine Toomey and Joelle jeans did well in relays. Milton Keynes won the trophy with home club Aylesbury 3rd.
