A strong night of fast and furious swimming was on display in the second round of the Junior Fenland League, with St Ives Swimming Club (SICC) securing third place.

Several swimmers aged 9-13 from March, Ely, Peterborough 'B', and Deepings swimming clubs battled it out for the top three places at the event on May 13 in Peterborough.

Ely managed to pip March to first place by a three-point margin as St Ives impressively won the final and only relay of the competition to cement a third-place finish.
