Seals Report

Preston Seals had to settle for third place in their first Micro League fixture of the season.
Team Coach Ian Laurence said: “This is only the first gala of the season so we still have plenty of time to build on this and I’m sure we will post higher scores as the season goes on”.
The best performance came from Hayley Graveson who won the 10 years 50m backstroke and set a personal best for the league. Other first places were gained by Hannah McGill in the 10 years 50m breaststroke and Liam Marrows in the 12 years 50m freestyle.
Micro League newcomers Joseph Cunningham-Connolly, Alex Brandwood, Ethan Fielding and Toby Seers started well with a second-placed finish in the nine years freestyle relay, and Oliver Lucas replaced Brandwood to take second in the medley.
The 10-year-old boys of Joshua Rennie, Bill Cooper, Henry King, Nigel Standing and Joseph Ellis only managed relay fourth spots. But the boys 11 years 4x25m freestyle relay team of Harry Holden, James Shuttleworth, Ben Conlon and Jake Beatty set a new club record for third place.
The 12-year-old team saw Marrows joined by Freddie Carter, Matthew Baron and Joe Wright to take second in the freestyle and medley relays.
For the 10-year-old girls, Graveson was joined by Olivia Baron, Ella Huskisson and Keara Mulvaney-Slater to take second in the medley relay, a position repeated when Graveson was replaced by McGill in the freestyle relay.
