Well done to all our medal winners and finalists. Siân Morgan gained two new National Youth times on 200 Fly and 800 Free. Her 800 time was also a new National ASA Long Course QT for this June’s championships.

On the whole this was a good meet for COB with a few medals, plenty of finalists and some very pleasing PBs. However we must cut down on our disqualifications in the future.

Andy Pearce. Senior Coach.

	1 gold, 2 silver, 4 bronze, 33 finalists, 23 PBs. Congratulations again to our medal winners at Leeds. A special well done and congratulations go to Jimmy Lund for gaining his first ever National Age Group QT on 200 Breaststroke. Jimmy will also compete on the 100 Breast at the Nationals as qualifying for the 200 also enables him to compete over the shorter distance. So far, after the 2 rounds of Yorkshire Championship events we have won a total of 16 medals. I am hopeful this total will be closer to 30 after the sprints and relays. Keep it up. Andy Pearce, Senior Coach

	Eleven year old James Lund took the plaudits at the recent Yorkshire Championships. In winning his age group 200m breaststroke for the third year running in a time of 3.05.53 he gained his first national qualifying time and will represent the club in the 100m and 200m breaststroke at the National Age Groups Championships in July.

In the girls events Sian Morgan was the first to touch the wall in the open 100m butterfly in time of 1.04.69. Silver medals were the order of the day in the 200m medley; 200m butterfly and 800m freestyle. All her swims were National Youth times and the latter a new ASA National time.

2 gold, 4 silver, 2 bronze, 30 finalists

Congratulations to our finalists and medallists in the Yorkshire sprints. David Brown improved his National Long Course QT on 50 Breaststroke breaking the 30 second barrier for the first time whilst George Acton won his first Yorkshire medal on the 50 Free in a very fast time for a 9 year old and showed an attitude and maturity beyond his years.

It was also nice to see swimmers that are not sprinters make finals and in some cases win medals.

For us as a club at the 3 Yorkshire’s events we had our largest number of entries at these Sprint Championships by far. We must make sure that in the future we enter the middle distance and longer events at the graded and open meets to gain QTs for the Yorkshire Championships and even higher competitions.

Our medal tally from the 3 Yorkshire events so far this year is 25.

Andy Pearce, Senior Coach.

It was City’s breaststroke specialists David Brown, James Dawson and James Lund who took the plaudits at the recent Yorkshire Swimming Association Sprints Meet held at Sheffield Ponds Forge.

Lund swimming as an eleven year old claimed the 50m breaststroke for the third year running in a time of 40.77.

In the open events Brown also struck gold in the 50m event, dipping under the 30 second barrier for the first time in an improved national qualifying time of 29.78. He also and also had final placings in the 50m butterfly and backstroke.

Dawson fresh from his recent success at the National Championships swam to silver in the 50m event and also took fifth place in the 50m butterfly.

North East Region champion Myles Stirk, eleven, continued his rich vein of form with silver medals in the 50m backstroke and butterfly and third place in the freestyle. He also placed seventh in the breaststroke event.

Nine year old George Acton featured on the Yorkshire podium for the first time when he took silver in the 50m freestyle and also had final placings in the backstroke and breaststroke.

Bringing up the rear was Sam O’Donohoe with a bronze medal in the 50m backstroke and placings in the breaststroke and freestyle.

Other finalists were Ellie Talbot, Joanna Gledhill, Isabel Stirk, Isobel Mawson, Azura Cairns Poole, James Towler, James Blaby, Josh Zenner and Matthew Brown.

The Championship series rounded off with the team events and it was the men’s open 200m medley team of Sam O’Donohoe, David Brown, Luke Constantine and Jamie Brown who stole the limelight with a bronze medal in a very competitive field.

In total seven of City’s teams had final placings which delighted the coaching staff. All swimmers train with Leisure Services Aquatic Competition Programme.

1bronze medal

Well done to our relay representatives. I would have hoped that we would have won more than the one medal but it must be said that the relays were very competitive this year with all the top clubs fielding strong teams. For the record, 8 out of the 12 teams COB entered made the final.

Andy Pearce, Senior Coach
