Victory in Final Junior League Round and Weekend Roundup
01 Jul 2019
The TASC Junior League competed in the final round of N&D Division 1 on Sunday and came out on top in a vary closely fought heat. At the half way stage Tynemouth were tied in equal first place with Newcastle Swim Team, with Gateshead and Wickham close by in 3rd.
A strong second half of the heat saw strong performances and tight fast racing in both the individual events, culminating in a very exciting canon relay in which Tynemouth made a fantastic comeback only to be held off into second place by a strong NST 8. Fortunately this was enough to secure victory overall by 6 points:
Final Standings:
Tynemouth - 230
Newcastle ST - 224
Gateshead & Whickham - 198
Sunderland - 148
Middlesbrough - 118
Chester le Street - 91
TASC will now compete in the N&D Final hosted at Tynemouth Pool 15th September 2019. Hopefully we can follow on from the previous 2 years to take victory and qualify for the Northern Final.
