Cookstown lose out to Coleraine

THE PTL swimmers of Cookstown travelled to Coleraine on Saturday, with both teams unbeaten this season. This was the first time the clubs had ever met, with Cookstown only promoted this season to the dizzy heights of Division Two. Coleraine has always been a great production line for highly talented and respected young swimmers down through the years.

Cookstown medley relay teams won three out of the eight races in this event with (A) Girls, (A) Boys and (D) Girls all touching first.

The Individual events began with the backstroke, where Cookstown collected five firsts. Two of these were one-twos from (A) Girls Hannah Haycock/Kelly Hunter and (A) Boys Thomas Heenan/Matthew McNeill. The other 3 firsts were from Conan Bradley, Aoife Hutchinson and Francis McElhatton. These results were achieved in formidable company, leaving the spoils evenly shared in this event.
