Div 1 Final Gala - Final Results

• Romford sucessfully secured the Essex Swimming League Division One title with a win at the final Div 1 gala of the season.  Results from the previous galas had left Romford fairly secure in terms of the league title, but things were looking a little different on the night as a resurgent Basildon & Phoenix squad secured a two point lead at the halfway point and further extended it to 16 points with only 13 events to go.  The Basildon challenge fell away though in the final quarter as Romford pulled at 7x1st's and 4x2nd places to finish ahead by seven points on the night.  See Results page for final results and league table.

Div 3 Final Gala - Final Results

• At the final gala of the season, Saffron Seals secured the Essex Swimming League Division Three title with another strong performance, beating challengers Harwich by 31 swim points to win the final gala. By taking first place on the night Saffron completed a clean sweep in their Division, winning each of the four galas that make up the 2015-16 season. In a tussle for third place, Leyton had set out an early lead over Hornchurch by 4 points at the halfway point but were pulled back in the third set of events to see the two teams only two pints apart, and the two teams traded places in the last quarter to stay that way at the end of the night's excitement.  See Results page for final results and league table.

Div 3 Gala 3 - Confirmed Results

• The confirmed results are now published on the results page.
  A strong challenge from Harwich this time round still wasn't quite enough to overcome the Saffron Seals squad who are now looking almost certain to secure the Division three title. Hornchurch still have a chance to gain second place but they have to beat Harwich and either finish more than one place above them, or by a large points margin, at the final gala in Becontree on 7th May.
