Lecale once again among the medals at event in Bangor

18 February 2015

IT was a busy weekend for Lecale Swimming Club at the three-day Swim Ulster Spring qualifying meet in Bangor.

Aaron Cooper, Amy Godfrey, Chloe Galloway, Conor Mahoney, Daniel Mulholland, Daniel Molloy, Isla Miller, Jamie Hamilton and Megan Rogers had done very well just to meet the qualifying standards for this event.

They represented their club and supported one another very effectively at a packed Aurora Aquatics Centre in Bangor.

Daniel Mulholland was in great form, picking up four golds in the 100m, 200m, 400m and 800m freestyle events.

Daniel Molloy also bagged a gold medal in 50m backstroke and two silvers in the 200m backstroke and 200 individual medley, while Megan Rogers picked up a gold in the 200m breaststroke.

Also coming home with medals were Conor Mahoney with a silver in the 100m butterfly and Amy Godfrey with silver in the 50m freestyle.

Of course, securing improvement in personal best times was also a major objective and the team was not found wanting.

Jamie and Conor had a full sweep of PBs in their events, with Isla taking almost five seconds off her 100m breaststroke time and Chloe improving even further her existing National Division 2 times in the 100m backstroke and the 100m freestyle.

It’s now time for a well-earned rest before training resumes in preparation for Saturday’s encounter with Swilly Seals in Donegal.

This is the final PTL gala of the season and a win would ensure promotion for the second successive years, so all roads will lead to Letterkenny.

The next Aquasprint gala for Lecale’s younger swimmers is away to the Cavan Swimming Club on March 7.
