Rother League Round 3 Gala ReviewPosted 28 September 2006 The 3rd and final Rother League gala was held at Hart Leisure Centre at Fleet on Saturday 23rd September 2006. After a fairly long coach journey to the venue, Worthing had a slow start in the pool before moving our way up to 3rd place by the end. This was an encouraging result against all of the teams in our division. Worthing finished all 3 galas in the Rother League in 3rd place which should enable us to retain our position in Division 2 and improve our ranking within the division. The gala was won by Staines who have dominated the division and look likely to gain promotion to division 1. Congratulations to Alastair Hardinge and Florence Scordoulis who were given the individual awards for Worthing in the Rother League. The results which have been achieved are due to a great team effort, with some swimmers swimming out of age and having to cover those that have been ill or unable to swim. The form shown in this league now has to be carried forward to the Speedo League which starts in 3 weeks time (14th October) – Good Luck everyone !!! Chris Luesley |

Well done to every one who swam in
the Rother league relay gala; a fine performance, all giving
105% which brought in quite a few personal bests. Fine wins
for the boys under 16s relays. Three new additions to
the squad were Abbie Earles, Amy Rodemark and Emmy White-Moncrieff.
They all seemed
to have a good time and swam well. We were seeded 4th and
finished third behind Stains and Basingstoke beating Hart,
Dorking and Bognor.
I now look forward to the Junior
Trophy Gala on the 24th June where the 13 and under squad can
show their form. Good luck to them.
Again well done.
