DEVON COUNTY MASTERS WIN REGIONAL INTER  COUNTY SHIELD



The Devon County Masters team have, once again, retained the Regional Inter County Shield.



The event held at Millfield pool on Sunday 12th November had teams from Cornwall, Somerset, Gloucester, Wiltshire and Devon racing against each other. 

The Devon team, which included swimmers from 18 years through to those in their 70s and 80s, put in a spirited and determined performance to take the shield once again, although at stages during the event they were pushed hard by an excellent Gloucester team. 


At the end of the programme, the results were as follows:

Devon County, 1700
Gloucestershire, 1657
Wiltshire, 1443
Somerset, 1377
Cornwall, 1326
Dorset, 1001


OFFICIALS

Calling all officials 


With our county masters meet fast approaching we are low on officials and I would be very grateful for any help that you can give. 

As this is an unlicensed meet, young volunteers and anyone wanting to practice their officiating skills will be very welcome. Mentoring will be possible.

The event will take place at the Life Centre on September 10th with warmup starting at 12:30 and racing at 1 pm. 

 I’m estimating that the event to be over by 5 /5.30 pm

The programme is divided into three, with breaks between each session and tea and cake will be provided :):)

If you are available to help out please contact me

THANK YOU
