GRAAFF-REINET — The annual Karoo Interschools Gala was held at the Hoër Volkskool swimming pool, on Thursday, March 2.

In events ranging from U.9 through to the Open swimmers, 104 events in total, Union's swimmers made a difference by seeing that the Union lanes were filled where ever possible.

There were EP officials seeing that all strokes and relays were swum correctly. Unfortunately, a few Union swimmers were disqualified and hopefully have learnt a lesson.

In the Primary Section, U./9 to U.14, Union were in the lead at the end of the first page of results but then were trailing until the last U.14 relays where our Girls U.14 A and B Freestyle teams came first and second and the Boys A team came first in a very close race! Participation in many events made the difference for Union.

Union came first in the Primary Section with 327 points, followed by Gill in second place (319), Laer Volkskool in third place with 280 points and Cradock Primary in fourth place (157).

The Senior Section is divided separately into Girls and Boys. Union won both these sections. Detailed results will be available later.
