MUNSTER GRADE ‘B’ GALA
Mayfield is the venue on Sunday, May 15 for the Munster Grade ‘B’ Gala. 9am warm-up, 10am start time.
MUNSTER GRADE C GALA
The Fermoy swimming club Grade C swimmers attended a Gala at Douglas in Cork on Sunday, April 24, always a difficult venue due to the location and age of the pool.
John Lonergan had a great day swimming PB’s to achieve his Munster Grade B time not only in the 100m freestyle but also in the 100m IM, so is now officially a Munster Grade B swimmer.
Ben Terry swam a truly delightful 50m butterfly winning gold and achieving his B time in this event.
There was no holding back Lauren Armstrong who swam get PB’s including taking over 6 seconds off in her 100m freestyle and 7 in her IM. Not to be out-done, Ciara Clancy also managed a magnificent 6 second PB in her 100m freestyle. David Noonan showed the girls that the boys were not going to be out-done by producing a 9.23 PB in his 50m breaststroke and 3.34 in his IM. Oisin Morrison also swam a great PB in his 50m backcrawl taking off 4.27 seconds.
Hannah Salvatori meanwhile was busy collecting medals with a gold in the 100m IM, silver in the 50m backstroke, breaststroke and 100m freestyle.
Emma O’Grady took nearly 2 seconds off her 50m breaststroke, with Mia McMahon achieving very good times for her swims as well as Nefelia Pyrovolaki and Emily Darren-Dalton.
Thanks goes to coach Paula Finn and all the parents who travelled to support and help at the gala.
