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

In addition, if you have anyone in your club who would be prepared to come down and officiate on the day that would be wonderful, so please spread the word with all your club officials.
As this will not be a licensed meet we can also accommodate any young volunteers who would like some officiating practice……..so please invite them to come along.
I recently attended another masters meet which had hot heats interspersed throughout the programme.
If possible I would like to do the same in our meet.
If you have any companies in your area that you think would be prepared to sponsor a hot heat ‘goodie bag’ please would you send me their contact details and I will get in touch with them.
