DROITWICH Dolphins Swimming Club made a splash when they won the first round of the Nuneaton and District Junior Swimming League.
Their opposition, when they visited Bromsgrove's Dolphin Centre for Saturday's event, were Stafford Apex, Brierley Hill, Northampton B', Evesham, and Bromsgrove.
This was considered to be the most competitive draw of the first round, but the Dolphins' 33 strong squad, managed by Alison Whiteman, Lynne West, and Amy Piper, proved too good for their opponents.
