Blandford Flyers Swimming Club battled for another fantastic win in the fourth and final round of the Jurassic League at Bridport Leisure Centre. This 3rd victory gave the Flyers a 4 point lead in the table to secure the overall Jurassic League 2022 win for the first time in the club’s history.

As with all previous rounds the competition was fierce and Frome led from the start very closely followed by Blandford, Bridport and Weymouth. The Flyers persistence and resolve finally paid off in the last 5 races where they took the lead and finished 5 points in front on the night.

It was an outstanding performance from everyone in the squad, many having to swim up an age group or two or swim events outside of their comfort zone but the challenges were accepted without hesitation and many valuable points were gained for the team.

This is a massive achievement for the club and a result of all the hard work at training and determination to succeed as a team. The team spirit throughout the competition was commendable with the encouragement and support provided to each other playing a major part in this success. Head Coach Jon Creffield said, “The club is very proud of every one of our swimmers and hope they are also proud of their achievements, they deserve all the praise they are getting.

The club gave thanks to Bridport Barracudas, Frome, Heron, Weymouth and Wincanton for making it such a great competition, Mark Hoskins for his dedication in organising the event and all the officials, coaches and volunteers for their time and expertise.
