CASA Swimming Starlets Shine in Lincs Junior League

 

Round two of the Lincs Junior Swimming League was held at Scartho Pool on Saturday 16th May and the youngsters of Cleethorpes and Scunthorpe Aquatics (CASA) B were hoping for a repeat of the victory they achieved in the first round. A win would see them reach the league final which will be held in September. Five teams were competing on the night; City of Lincoln Pentaqua, Trenton Dolphins, CASA A, CASA B and Louth.

 

From the start CASA B showed their intentions and scored four straight victories in the opening events to establish a lead that they never lost. There were some very close races throughout the gala, particularly with the Louth and CASA A teams, but CASA B proved far too strong on the night and ended up dominating the event scoring 35 victories and 11 second places out of 49 events. Louth recorded 9 victories, Trenton Dolphins 3 and CASA A 2.

 

This now sets up a final showdown with Lincoln Vulcans in September where the CASA team will be hoping to repeat last years league victory when they won the title, the first time a team outside Lincoln had won the league in its 27 year history.

 

Chief Coach, Dan Higgon was delighted with the team’s performance on the night and said “There were some great performances from our swimmers tonight and nearly everyone recorded personal best times. Both CASA teams looked strong and it is a good sign for the future of swimming in the area that we have such a good bunch of youngsters coming through.”
