Next round of this league for us is on Sunday 17th April at 2pm at home (Knowsley Leisure & Culture Park)
As well as hosting the 2-day L3 meet about 20 Prescot swimmers entered the competition. Many PBs were gained, along with entry times for the North West Region championships.
Because of the Spring Meet we took a different look team over to Birkenhead for the 3rd round of this years Merseyside & District League. The absence of some of our top swimmers combined with the withdrawal of St Helens from the league made it a closer gala than usual but we still emerged as winners at the end.
Prescot continued their domination of the Merseyside & District Division 2 with another commanding performance in St Helens. The other clubs managed the occasional win but on the whole a procession of Prescot swimmers finished in 1st place.
Final Result: 1st Prescot 218 points, 2nd Formby (138), 3rd Woodchurch (97), 4th St Helens (88)
