Swimming - Memorial Gala is one to remember for Dolphins

Oct 2 2008 by Eric MacKinnon, West Lothian Courier

LIVINGSTON and District Dolphins won the Alisdair Ferguson trophy for being the top club at the Iain MacFadyen Memorial Gala last month.

A host of swimming clubs from across Edinburgh and Lothian counties took part in the gala, held at Prestonpans.

And while it was a great day for all participating clubs, it proved to be one to remember for Livingston and District Dolphins.

The club saw several personal bests registered but there were great swims from various Dolphins swimmers.

The total medal count of 26 was testament to that, as six gold, 10 silver and 10 bronze medals made their way back to West Lothian.

There were also 28 ribbons won for fourth, fifth and sixth places.

Eilidh Wright won best girl in the 12-year-old girl category and Courtney Torrance won the 10-year-old section.
