🤽🏻♂️ NAG Open U17 Preliminary Round Recap 🤽🏻♂️
On 1st & 2nd March, 11 talented Sandwell players, alongside coaches Terri & John Halstead and Team Manager Eddie Smart, traveled to Haberdashers Askes School for Boys for the Swim England National Age Group Championships (NAGs) Open U17 Preliminary Round. 🏅
In Group A, Sandwell competed against Sutton & Cheam, Worthing, Northampton, and Hucknall. The first game was a nail-biter, with Sandwell drawing with Sutton & Cheam and securing a thrilling penalty shoot-out victory. 🙌 Sam’s incredible save and three successful penalty shots gave Sandwell the extra point! 💪
Day 1 saw a tough loss to a strong Worthing team, but Sandwell bounced back on Day 2 with impressive wins over Northampton and Hucknall. 🌟 Despite finishing third in Group A—just one point behind the top two teams—Sandwell narrowly missed out on advancing to the next round. 💔
A highlight of the weekend? A fun football match between games on Day 2—perfect for team bonding and showcasing the endless energy of our young athletes! ⚽
A huge thank you to our amazing coaches and team manager for their unwavering support and guidance throughout the weekend. 🙏 We’re so proud of our Sandwell team!
