UK SCHOOL GAMES

England Central wins UKSG 2008 

Congratulations to all Team members and Staff from Divisions 4, 6 and 7 for their excellent victory in UKSG 2008. 

The Team had a mix of ages with no fewer than three 13 and three 14 year olds included in the 16 & under team.  A further 8 swimmers will also still be eligible for selection next year. 

The England Central Team took an early lead in the Competition, which it maintained throughout apart from a short time early in Day 2, to finish with a 15 point lead over its closest rival. 

The all round excellent team performance was highlighted by 27 podium places out of the 44 events. A total of 18 members of the team received medals with the ‘greedy’ ones being Katrina Alder 3 Gold & 1 Silver, Ann Morris 3 Gold, Sophie Smith 3 Gold and Emma Saunders 2 Gold & 2 Silver.  However these individual performances – and many others, should not detract from the overall TEAM effort.  The Team Staff complimented the swimmers’ attitude and behaviour and said that everyone played their part for the duration of the Games both on and off the poolside. Their support for their fellow team members and their team spirit overall was brilliant.   In addition Michael’s flirtation with the Media at every opportunity will hopefully bring him Hollywood stardom!

Due to the ESSA re-organisation we say goodbye to the Warwickshire Schools who have supported this event throughout – we hope they will succeed in the West Midlands.  Sadly we do not have a replacement so there is plenty of room for Schools to participate from the East Midlands: Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire & Rutland.  Look for 2012 dates in the Autumn Term
