Great effort at Armagh Championships!

A big thanks to everyone connected with the club who helped to make the day such a success both in and out of the pool. Our swimmers produced a great set of results and our points total of 456 was our best for several years. Although the individual performances of swimmers such as Daniel Chambers, Daniel Mc Quade, Eden Magwood, Mary McCann, Colum Tiffney, Beth Irwin, Chloe Black, Patrick McCannn, Johnny McMahon and others earned them several medals the support from other members of the team from all age groups was what made the day for the club. In an gala such as this where every finish counts it was good to see us represented in almost every final event. Perhaps the team spirit was easiest to spot in the relays. In the Medley relays Portadown took 2 Gold,4 Silver and 2 Bronze while in the Freestyle event we came away with 1 Gold, 3 Silver and 4 Bronze. Congratulatiions to gala winners Lurgan and we look forward to next year when Newry and Mourne will act act hosts. We must also thank all of our sponsors who helped us finance the day, their support was very much appreciated. Finally a special thanks to 'Tayto' who not only provided free crisps but also sent Mr Tayto along to meet and mingle with the crowd. What a great photo-opportunity!
