Southampton Diving Academy established itself as the top club in the county when their elite team took all but one of the medals at the Hampshire County Amateur Diving Championships held at the Quays.

In all the team bagged 12 gold, ten silver and eight bronze medals at junior, senior, junior masters and masters levels.

The most successful divers on the day were Charly Tomkys (18) and Ciaran O'Reilly (14), who claimed four golds each for junior and senior springboard and platform events.

In the more mature section of the club, there were some very significant results for the masters divers, who took four gold and two silvers between them.

Particularly noteable was Dave Williams, who was competing for the first time and took a silver on springboard and a gold on platform.

Chris Jenkins, coach for the Masters section, said: "I am thrilled with the way this section of the club is coming on.

"We have a very motivated group who are really seeing the benefits of their dedication. They have achieved some excellent results."

There were some disappointments on the day, too, with Pete Waterfield out of the Championships with a back injury and Gary Hunt only able to use feet first entries due to a painful injury to his thumb sustained during training.

Director of Coaching, Lindsey Fraser, was nevertheless delighted with the outcome of the day.

"Our elite divers are performing very well at the moment," she explained. "Today was another important step towards the nationals where I am certainly hoping for some good results this year."

Charly Tomkys and Gary Hunt will both be joining Pete Waterfield and Robert Appleby to compete in the Senior Nationals to be held in Manchester from today until Saturday.

More juniors will be contesting the age group nationals at their home pool on June 28-July 1. Spectators are welcome.
