22 Nov 11: Bedfordshire Masters team at Inter-County Masters
The East Region round of the National Inter-County Masters Team Competition was held at Newmarket on Sunday November 20th, and despite a couple of late withdrawals, Bedfordshire managed to get swimmers in all of the 68 events. When all of the times had been fed into the computer with the times from the other Regional rounds held over the same weekend, Bedfordshire finished in a very creditable 14th place out of the 31 counties competing. This was a very creditable performance, as in all of the years of this competition, Bedfordshire had never been in the top 20 before
