Ponteland ASC Division II Diddy Final - Sunday 22nd June 2008 at Felling

Posted by: admin on 06/23/2008 08:46 AM

On Sunday 22nd June at 10.45am, Coach John Nicholson, Team Manager Helen Mason, three parent helpers, the boy’s Team Captain and 41 swimmers left Ponteland ready to commence battle in the Durham and District Junior League Division II final. The Diddy League is for swimmers between 9 and 12 years of age. There are currently 19 clubs from Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, Durham and Cleveland in the league which has three divisions. During March and April each year teams compete in three first round galas against five other clubs from their division. The top six teams in the division compete in the final. Ponteland competed in three qualifying rounds – coming second at the first gala, third at the second gala and second in the third gala. At each gala Ponteland game behind City of Sunderland by a substantial number of points. Ponteland knew as the final day approached it was almost an impossibility to beat the City of Sunderland, but we hoped to be able to finish in second position. The gala got underway with a spectacular parade of the six teams in the final. The Durham & District Junior League celebrates its 30th Year in 2008 and the teams recognized this achievement by balloons, posters, t-shirts and banners. The atmosphere at the gala was electric, the swimmers were particularly amazed at the noise from both the 300+ spectators and also support from their own teams! Ponteland after 30 events were in joint 3rd position, fighting against other clubs from the area. These included City of Sunderland, Consett, Wear Valley, South Tyneside and Tynedale. After a tiring and nail biting 1hour 30mins Ponteland were ecstatic to come second, losing to City of Sunderland. This is an enormous achievement for Ponteland ASC – well done to all swimmers that competed.
