September 12th saw the final gala of the Moonraker Summer League.
For us it was our Home gala, here at Durrington. With only 11 points separating the first three teams from previous rounds, the competition was wide open which made for a very exciting event.
After the first 10 events, Durrington were trailing by six points, with both Corsham and Swindon ahead, Durrington just in front of Marlborough, despite first place finishes for Will Turner Boys U12 25m Butterfly - Jenny Wiltshire Girls U16 50m Freestyle and Eloise Toomer Girls Open 100m Backstroke.
Event 12 saw the Boys U12 Medley Relay – James Falconer, Matthew Heavens, Sidney Fenwick and Will Turner bring home a win – and further individual wins for James Chapman Boys U14 50m Freestyle - Millie Coker Girls U14 50m Freestyle - Alex Ba-Tin Girls Open 100m Butterfly - Georgia Shepherd Girls U12 25m Breaststroke and Eloise Toomer Girls U16 50m Backstroke took Durrington to within 4 points of Corsham after 22 events.
Next to secure some more home wins were James Chapman & Jenny Wiltshire in the U14’s 50m Freestyle - Laura Fry, Catherine Davis, Jenny Wiltshire & Eloise Toomer Girls U16 Freestyle Relay Team -
Rory Burton & Jenny Wiltshire U14’s 50m Butterfly,
Will Turner & Georgia Shepherd U12’s 25m Backstroke.
In the end, Corsham had the better second half, winning 13 of the 28 events, Durrington pulling in many 2nd & 3rd places.
The final score ending was:
Corsham 152
Durrington 138
Marlborough 114
Swindon 96.
It was a very exciting gala with excellent swims from all clubs involved. Corsham will now move up to Division 4 next summer, and Durrington will remain in Division 5.

 Two Otters George & Sidney Fenwick attended Tigershark’s Separated Individual Medley Meet on the 19th July.
The SIM Meet means swimming all 4 individual strokes at 50m and the fastest 6 go forward to a final of a 100m or 200m Individual Medley depending on age. George although pulling off some fast times was in a tough age group and unfortunately did not medal this time.
 Sidney who has just turned 9yrs managed 4 personal best times, 2 medals a Gold in the Breaststroke & Bronze for Butterfly and a place in the 100m IM Final where he finished a very respectable 4th earning himself a trophy.

 The 18th July saw Durrington attend Bridport Leisure centre for the last Round of the Jurassic League.
At the end of Round 3 with the point’s accumulated Bridport, Heron & Durrington were all within a chance of taking 1st Placein the Final Round.
So with a few minor adjustments the Team was ready to swim.
Event 5 was Durrington's first win with Alice Sims bringing in the Girls Open 50m Butterfly, by Event 10 it was very obvious that all the other teams had brought in their Big Guns for the occasion.
Durrington swam on and in Event 13 Girls 14&U 50m Butterfly Eloise Toomer managed a win, there were many 2nd & 3rd finishes but it wasn’t until Event 36 Boys 12&U 50m Butterfly that James Chapman secured another win.
Then there was a little flurry of wins:
Boys 16&U Medley Relay & Freestyle Teams:
Adam Wookey, Matt Chapman, Roy Goodenough & Adam Davis.
Girls 14&U and 16&U Freestyle teams:
Laura Fry, Jenny Wiltshire, Adele Reed & Eloise Toomer.
Girls Open 50m Backstroke Eloise Toomer.
Boys 12&U 50m Freestyle James Chapman.
The end of the evening saw our Coach/Parent Team of:
Susie & Mark Fenwick, Lorraine Turner & Paul Chapman swim,
There was much cheering from swimmers, parents & friends alike, and a very BIG Well Done & THANKS goes to them.
Durrington finished 4th on the night but 3rd in the League overall and congratulations go to all the swimmers.
