Surrey Skills

Congratulations to our team of eight divers who competed at this year's Surrey County ASA Diving Skills Competition at Guildford Spectrum.

All the divers put in great performances, some of whom were representing the club 'externally' for the first time.

We came away here as the county's top diving club for another year, proving the popularity among the black and yellow tracksuits very much alive and kicking.

Friendly competition came from guest clubs Crystal Palace, Dacorum, Highworth Phoenix, Maidstone, Tunbridge Wells and Waltham Forest.

Annabella led the medal charge with a convincing win in the D Girls. Scoring some 'very good' marks from some of the judges across her six skills, it included a '9' for her V-sit hold. Mia was runner-up and Ada came third. Isla finished narrowly behind her twin sister in fourth.

It was a one-two for Isaac and Thomas in the D Boys, winning gold and silver respectively. Katie, who was our only diver competing this year in the C Girls, won her event. And Joel, whose promotion to Novice Squad this term after successfully completing grade 10, topped it off by winning the B+ Boys.

Thanks to Surrey County ASA president Collette Crow for coming along to present the medals.
