KENT JUNIOR LEAGUE –23rd JUNE 2007 MARGATE –ROUND 1
Despite a swimmer failing to turn up, we set off to Margate with a coach bursting to the seams with swimmers and parents. For many, this was their first experience in the Junior League and it was also Kim and Jim’s first time as team managers, so the support was much appreciated.

We were against strong opposition with Saxon Crown. Overall it was a good result for us as we were missing a couple of good swimmers. Everyone swam their best and team spirit was excellent with lots of cheering and encouragement- some parents even appeared to have lost their voices from so much cheering and shouting!


We had seven 1st places overall all of which were won in convincing style by:
Fola Ogunsola: 10/U 50m Freestyle
Boys 10/U Medley Relay --Cameron Cave, James Bray, Tommy Evans Fola Ogunsola
Boys 10/U Free Relay --Fola Ogunsola, James Hulbert, Tommy Evans, Cameron Cave
Sophie Newington: 11/U 50m Freestyle PB
Shanelle Fakely: 12/U 100m Breaststroke PB
Zara Brazier: 12/U 100m Butterfly and 100m Backstroke PBs

Continuing the success with some well earned second places and valuable points were the following:
Girls 10/U Medley Relay—Grace Walker, Ellie Burch Jessica Saunders, Jodie Cowie
Fola Ogunsola: 10/U 25m Butterfly
Cameron Cave: 10/U 50m Backstroke PB
Sophie Newington; 11/U 50m Breastroke
Boys 12/U Medley Relay—Ben Gunn, Ben Walker, Daniel Burch, Jamie Porter
Jacob Burden: 11/U 50m Butterfly PB
Daniel Burch: 12/U 50m Butterfly PB
James Bray: 10/U 50 Breaststroke

However credit must go to all the swimmers that gained valuable points helping Hythe Aqua to 4th place overall. It was a good team effort. The full team was:
