Southern Junior League Round 1 - Weston 19th April 2008 The first round of the Southern Junior League saw an excellent display of both swimming and team spirit. We were up against some of the strongest junior teams in the area with 2 teams from last year's A Final. We started with a strong relay display to keep within 2 points of Yeovil and open a 7 point gap on Weston-Super-Mare and a 9 point gap on Bristol Henleaze. Weston came back strongly to overhaul us on the first group of individual races taking a slight lead. We held on and by the time of the last group of relays we had crept to a 7 point advantage. Yeovil were now 40 points ahead and out of reach. The second batch of relays were strongly contested with Yeovil winning 6 of the possible 9, Weston winning 2 and us only 1 (10 Year Girls Freestyle) but we finished 2nd to Yeovil on many of the others and we stretched our lead to 13 points in the end. Final Points: Yeovil - 253 Southwold - 206 Weston - 193 Bristol Henleaze - 159 Warminster - 114 Melksham - 75
