Kent Junior League – Round 2

On Saturday 9^th July 2022, Orpington Ojays headed off to St Johns in Tunbridge Wells for the second round of the Kent Junior League.

This is a 44 event gala with a mixture of individual events and mixed relays in the categories 10, 11, 12 and 13 years of age for which we took a team of 18 swimmers with some attending their first league gala. We had some tough competitive clubs at the same pool, but given everyone is racing virtually against all 14 clubs,the team had to work hard to set some great times and over all we came a virtual 10^th place.

This now puts us in 7^th place out of 14 with one more round to go.

Our notable swimmers in this round were

Daisy Draper who came 3^rd out of 14 for the Girls 13/U 200m IM

Shekinah Olatunji for 3^rd place out of 14 for the Boys 12/U 100m Breast

Lucas Bond who finished 2^nd overall for the Boys 11/U 50m Free

but also a number of excellent 4th place results overall for the team and some great swims throughout the evening.

Well done to everyone who took part and we look forward to the final round on September 24^th – Save the date!
