TWENTY-one divers from Southampton Diving Academy, where Olympic medalist Peter Waterfield trains, have taken part in a competition and walked away with 11 medals.

The divers travelled to Plymouth for the Armada Cup and took two gold, six silver and three bronze medals in the competition which saw them vying against teams from all over England.

Standing out from the crowd was Emily Alderman, 13, who took gold and two silvers in the Girls' 12-13 years events.

Emily will join team mates Chris Mears, 12, and Chris Farrow, 13, on the National Junior Talent Programme training camp, to be held at the Quays this weekend.

Both boys took a medal apiece, Chris Farrow a silver and Chris Mears the bronze.

Director of coaching, Lindsey Fraser, said: "This is a very exciting time for us here in Southampton."
