Scott Ormsby Inter-club June 2019
Scott Ormsby 1st June 2019
An excellent battle between Newton Abbot and our nearest rivals Paignton in the open air pool at Kingsteignton in bright sunshine! The two clubs were neck and neck for most of the gala, with Paignton edging in front and Newton closing the gap, but not quite enough by the end. Oddicombe, Brixham and Torquay Leander filled the other 3 lanes in the pool and there was a great atmosphere with spectators enjoying the sunshine and the spectacle! Final positions:
1st - Paignton 213
2nd - Newton Abbot 204
3rd - Torquay Leander 109
4th - Brixham 104
5th - Oddicombe 32
