Swimming Gala Report
On Wednesday 4th May, Longridge Towers came to Mowden for a swimming Gala.
Our under 11 Girls were convincing winners, taking 1st and second place in all events except one.
For the under 11 boys and the under 13 girls, the competition was hard and despite some extremely good efforts, with personal best times being recorded in all individual events, Longridge finished with more points.
