Shirley Hincliffe goes top of the table at NEC Masters. And Julie Hirst finally gets a PB after too long in the duldrums. by Julie Hirst

The order of the day was:
- arrive at pool 11am.
- look at water
- decide against a warm up
- swim races
- coffee(s) and large slice(s) of cakes
- look at pool
- decide against another warm up
- swim races

- Shirley repeats all this next day
Star of the show was Shirley, notching up another nine gold medals. Shirley has also put the South Axholme Sharks name on the YSA website once again, with a first place in the points table for the Leo Beatty Trophy. Take a look on the Masters page on the www.yorkshireswimming.org website So, well done Shirley!
The rest of us were bystanders, with 2 second places to Gainsborough (boo hiss) in the 160+ teams, and a couple of PBs in the individuals. And, may I say, “ I GOT UNDER 40sec for 50 FLY FOR THE FIRST TIME”!!!!!
The programme is up for the 2007 Yorkshire Masters jamboree, so dust off your cozzies you wrinklies, and lets have a good turnout next time.
