A very easy win for the School team. Maximum points were obtained in eleven of the fifteen events. Two new School records.
Welbeck v. St. Peter's. Thursday, 1st June, 1967. Seniors won 52-48.
The extremely cold water at Welbeck prevented our swimmers from returning their best times but maximum points in the 100 yds. Breast stroke and the Plain Diving left our team in the position of having to win one relay for the match. Woodhouse Grove v. St. Peter's. Thursday, 8th June, 1967. Seniors won 50-28. Juniors won 35-32. St. Peter's v. Bootham. Thursday, 15th June, 1967. Seniors lost 42-78. Juniors lost 42-56.
This match produced the finest swimming ever seen in the school bath. New records for the bath were set in fourteen of the seventeen events. The Bootham swimmers were in tremendous form claiming eleven of these new records and sharing two more with our boys. Six new school records were established.
