SUMMARY:European Junion Diving Championship
DESCRIPTION:Junior European Diving Championships and FINA Diving World Cup 2021 \nThe lack of pool taining available in Plymouth did not faze Euan McCabe when he competed last week in the Junior European Diving Championships held in Croatia. \nHis coach; Sally Freeman was unable to join him on the trip but this did not prevent him from winning the bronze medal in the Group B\, 10m event. \nMcCabe teamed up with Ben Cutmore from Dive London for the 10m synchro. This was the first outing for the pair and resulted in an impressive performance to win the silver medal. \nPlymouth Diving continues to face challenges\, with the Life Centre diving pool still out of action until the end of August this year. Currently the best the club can offer divers is a wet session in Poole once a week. 9 \n

SUMMARY:Southampton Invitational
DESCRIPTION:Plymouth Diving returned to full time training at the beginning of September following a difficult period where the diving pool at the Life Centre was shut for over 17 months. With less than 7 weeks full time training behind them a 13 strong team of divers were back in action last weekend at the Southampton Invitational. \nGroup D boys were represented by Oscar Westbury and Will Heath. Oscar had a challenging preliminary round on the 1m board but was unperturbed\, going on to comfortably win the bronze medal. Will proudly joined Oscar on the podium with his silver medal. Not content with one medal Will also won a bronze on the 3m board. \nOllie Heath in group C had a rewarding weekend. After winning the preliminary round on platform he was not willing to give the top spot up and secured the gold in style. In a closely fought 3m event Ollie won the silver medal. \nScarlett Colbourne in group C dived consistently and with confidence on the 1m and 3m board. She narrowly missed out on the 3m final in 7th position. Scarlett finished 4th out of 29 to make the 1m final. \nKatie Martin was the highest scoring group B Plymouth girl on 3m. Team mates Maia Pearson and Ellie Pearce battled through a group of 29 divers with determination to make the 1m final which paid dividends\, Maia won the bronze medal and Ellie the silver. \nLucy Gutierrez-Freeman was the only diver in group A from the club. She finished 4th on 1m and won the silver medal in a thrilling platform final. \nOther team members included Alex Whittaker\, Eva Lang\, Lexi Davies and Phoebe White. They all set themselves new personal best targets after moving up a group from their last competition. Ben Hall and Alex both executed new dives with twist for the first time. \nTommy Davis coached all of the divers after stepping in at the last minute when another coach had to withdraw. At only 19 this was a massive undertaking for Tommy which he did with great enthusiasm. He played a vital role which contributed to the team’s achievements. \n

SUMMARY:Junior Elites
DESCRIPTION:The British Elite Junior Diving Championships hosted by the Plymouth Life Centre\, concluded on Saturday with a hoard of medals for Plymouth Diving. Showcasing the best talent on offer in the UK\, this is a tough competition for the select few. For most it also represented the first competition in 19 months.\nAmelie Underwood in group C 12/13 years won the silver medal on the 1m board with Scarlett Colbourne comfortably getting the bronze. The 3m board saw Amelie win a second silver and only 0.45 points off the gold. With a lower tariff in the preliminary round Scarlett improved on her fifth position to finish in fourth.\nThe only Plymouth diver to compete on all 3 boards was Ollie Heath who incredibly managed to medal on every board after some amazing dives. He won silver on platform\, bronze on 3m followed by a further bronze on 1m. Team mate Theo Stevens also had a great competition and only just missing a podium spot on both the 3m and 1m by a frustrating 0.45 points.\nSummer Radcliffe and Katie Martin represented group B 14-16 girls. Katie misjudged her footing on the 1m board and showed true grit and determination to carry on after a horrible fall. In a field of 17 divers Summer qualified easily in third position. With all finalists fighting for medals and despite diving well\, Summer finished in sixth. On the 3m board Katie fared better in tenth position with a personal best score. Summer was on track to qualify for the final until her last dive where an error on takeoff caused a drop in scores and so she missed the final this time.\nEuan McCabe in group B and partner Robbie Lee from Southampton teamed up to win the silver medal in the platform synchro. The individual platform gold was never in doubt for Euan. For the second consecutive time at these championships the title was his with a personal best score of 445 points.\nAidan Heslop also won gold on platform in group A 17-19 years\, with a stupendous score of 560.2 points. He outclassed his competitors with three dives each scoring over 80 points. Aidan and Ruby Thorne from Dive London dived as a mixed synchro pair for the first time as part of a plan for Team Wales. The pair hope to qualify for the Commonwealth Games in this new event.\nEuan has already secured a place at next months FINA World Junior Diving Championships as a result of silver and bronze medals at the Junior European Championships in June. Aidan also achieved the qualifying score and awaits confirmation of selection to the prestigious event in Ukraine.\nAll of the Elite Divers are coached by Sally Freeman. Without her ability to spot talent and nurturing skills then the divers would not reach their full potential and produce results to be proud of.

SUMMARY:Armada Cup
DESCRIPTION:Armada Cup 2022 Review \nA twenty-eight strong team of Plymouth divers have just finished competing in the Armada Cup held\nat the Plymouth Life Centre. In its 22 nd year it was a chance for the diving community to come\ntogether and celebrate the beginning of a full calendar of competitions since the pandemic hit.\nThirteen other diving clubs from around the country battled through storm Eunice to make the start\nof the four day event on Saturday. The competition was split into two sections – Junior Elite and Age\nGroup with South West Regional medals also up for grabs for the Age Group divers.\nHarry Westbury our youngest Age Group D diver finished in fourth place on the 1m board\, which\nearned him a gold South West medal.\nGirls group C Age Group was tough with the largest number of competitors. The nine South West\nmedals were shared between Lexi Davies\, Eva Lang and Yvie Tucker. Lexi was the most decorated\nwith an additional bronze medal for her outstanding 1m performance and silver for 3m.\nGroup C Age Group boys were represented by Oscar Westbury\, Will Heath and Alex Whittaker.\nBetween them they did a sterling job winning twelve individual medals. Alex picked up three South\nWest medals. Will finished in third on the 3m board to win bronze. On the 1m board Oscar secured\nthe silver medal. Together Will and Oscar made the platform final. It was going incredibly well for\nboth boys until Will’s foot slipped on his last dive ending his chance of a medal. Oscar safely reached\nthe silver podium position. Will and Oscar joined forces for the 1m synchro event where they took\nthe top spot winning gold. Team mate Noah Underwood sustained an injury prior to the Armada Cup\nand was sadly unable to participate.\nThe Age Group B girls scooped a total of nine South West medals between them. Erin Healey two\nsilver and one gold\, Harlie Stringer two bronze and one gold\, Mathilde Tassart a silver and gold. Rose\nMcCabe was back in action after suffering a serious elbow fracture last year and is gradually returning\nto previous form. She won a bronze South West medal on 3m.\nThe girls in Age Group A all medalled. Moving from skills to her first age group competition Ella\nCornish made a valiant effort on platform to win the South West gold medal. Lucy Gutierrez-Freeman\nwon the bronze South West medal on 1m. Ellie Pearce and Maia Pearson both made the 1m and 3m\nfinal which resulted in two silver South West medals for Maia. Narrowly missing out on a 1m medal\nEllie won the bronze on 3m plus two South West golds.\nIn the Age Group A section Ben Hall competed for the first time on platform winning the South West\ngold medal. After qualifying in fourth for the 1m final Ben Kearton raised his game. Performing a\nconfident round of dives he was not going to settle for anything less than glorious gold.\nElite group B diver Scarlett Colbourne just missed out on the 3m final where Amelie Underwood\nsuccessfully took the bronze which she later repeated on 1m. Scarlett paired up with Katie Martin to\nwin the silver 3m synchro medal.\nGroup B Elite boys Ollie Heath and Theo Stevens won the silver 3m synchro medal. Both boys are part\nof the Swim England Talent Z camp. Ollie had further success on the 1m board qualifying for the final\nin fourth position. He also made the platform final and just missed out on a medal finishing fourth.\nArchie Waines from the same group dived for the first time in the elite section. He dived consistently\nacross all three boards. On platform he initially led the pack with two technically impressive dives. \nContinuing her recent accomplishment at the British National Diving Cup elite group A diver Summer\nRadcliffe added a gold and silver medal to her collection. Katie Martin having already won a silver in\nsynchro collected a bronze on the 1m board.\nIn group A\, elite diver Euan McCabe was untouchable and won 2 gold medals with ease. Fifty clear\npoints ahead of his nearest rival on the 1m board and a whopping score of 530 points on the 3m\nboard.\nWith no competition experience Ava Cowper\, Martha Ticehurst and Laura Burrows performed well to\nset themselves personal best scores to build upon in the future. They all coped admirably with the\nenormity of the occasion.\nThe Armada Cup in association with Cisco Homes made it possible for Plymouth Diving to host an\nevent of this size. Their generous sponsorship was invaluable for which we are grateful for.\nPlymouth Diving would also like to thank Devonport Royal Dockyard Sport & Social Club who\ncontributed towards the medals\, Everyone Active for the use of the Life Centre facilities and Plymouth\nCity Council for their continued support. The divers and parents would also like to show their\nappreciation to the dedicated coaching staff and volunteers. The club is looking forward to a bright\nfuture with help from Cisco Homes and an exciting sponsorship deal with Pilkington Estates. \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:G Star & Mini White Rose
DESCRIPTION:Mini White Rose & G-Star 2022 Review \nWith the ongoing support of Pilkington Estates a team of twenty-five Plymouth divers travelled to\nLeeds over the weekend to compete in the Mini White Rose for Skills divers and G-Star for Age Group\ndivers.\nIt was the first opportunity for the Skills divers to showcase their talent in over two years and for the\nvast majority their first ever competition. Group D girls had the largest group of divers to battle\nagainst. Alice Jones and Eva Tsianavas dived well amongst the twenty-eight strong pack and gained\nvaluable experience. Isla Applin had an incredible round of dives finishing with the spectacular silver\nmedal. Isaac Ide proved unbeatable for the boys in group D topping the podium with a glorious gold.\nGroup C girls all finished in the top half. Poppy Jones in eighth position\, Abigail Bishop sixth and Ava\nCowper fourth and only just missed out on the bronze medal by less than two points. Group C boys\ncould not have dived better leaving no room for any other club on the podium.

In group B Kiri Pethick finished in a respectable ninth position and Laura\nBurrows was fourth.\nAll of the Age Group divers had it tough with other teams putting up a fight it left no room for error to\neven qualify for a final.

SUMMARY:Junior Elites
DESCRIPTION:British Elite Junior Diving Championships 2022\nSporting the new kit kindly provided by Pilkington Estates\, a small team of Plymouth\ndivers and their coach Sally Freeman headed off last week to Southend for the British Elite\nJunior Diving Championships. Hosted by the Southend Swimming and Diving Centre\, the\ncompetition ended on Saturday after a gruelling four day event. Showcasing the best\ntalent on offer in the UK\, this is a tough competition for the select few and a real sense of\nachievement for those divers chosen to represent Plymouth Diving.\nIn group A\, Euan McCabe qualified for the final on the 3m board in first position. After a\nclose fought final with the top four boys each scoring over the magical 500 points Euan\nfinished with the bronze medal. In the platform final there were only two contenders\nbattling for gold. Euan and Robbie Lee from Southampton Diving Academy outclassed all\nof the other finalists in what was a thrilling event\, full of top class dives. It concluded with\nEuan winning the silver and Robbie the gold.\nWhilst there were no medals for the group B boys their results were a success. Theo\nStevens just missed out on the 1m final in seventh position beating his personal best score\nto do so. Ollie Heath was thirteenth and Archie Waines in fifteenth. Ollie also performed\nwell on 3m beating his personal best score to finish tenth; Theo was fifteenth and Archie\nseventeenth. Ollie frustratingly missed the platform final by 5.2 points to finish seventh.\nNot to be outdone Archie also beat his personal best score on platform to finish eleventh.\nThis was Archie’s first British Elite Championships which provided a wealth of experience\nto build upon.\nIn the group A 1m event Katie Martin finished in thirteenth place. A large group of thirty\ndivers took part on the 3m board which resulted in Katie finishing in a respectable tenth\nposition. With an improved score of 56.85 points since her last competition it was a very\nencouraging outcome.\nGroup B girl Amelie Underwood was lying in fourth place going into the 1m final. With\npoints to make up Amelie was undeterred and with a fighting spirit claimed the gold. In\ntrue champion style Amelie also won the 3m gold medal rounding off two great events\nwhich could not have gone better. Scarlett Colbourne finished in eighth on 3m and ninth\non platform. Katie and Scarlett teamed up for the 3m synchro event along with Theo and\nOllie with both teams improving on their previous score to finish in sixth.\nOverall the six day trip resulted in personal achievements for all of the divers which they\ncan be proud of. \n

DESCRIPTION:Hot on the heels of the of last weekends’ success it was the turn of the Plymouth Diving Skills Divers to test their ability against the best in England at the National Skills Diving Finals in Leeds. The competition required all divers to attain a tough qualifying score to be eligible and Plymouth Diving sponsored by Pilkington Estates travelled with a strong squad of 11 divers. \nDay One saw the Group D2 boys open the competition with 12 boys battling it out for the honours. The competition was fierce at the top with the lead changing with every dive but some superb diving from Isaac Ide allowed him to scoop a well-deserved bronze\, his first national level medal. \nNext up was the Group C1 girls\, where hopes were high\, with 3 divers due to compete. Unfortunately\, Poppy Jones had to withdraw from the competition with injury but despite her disappointment she was happy to take up the role of chief cheerleader. Spurred on by some fantastic support Abigail Bishop and Ava Cowper produced some solid diving on all boards against some very talented divers. Abigail finished in 11th place overall\, but it was Ava who produced an outstanding set of dives to take a brilliant silver medal for Plymouth. \nDay Two presented Plymouth with several more chances to claim more medals and started with the Group D1 girls. Once again\, the competition for the podium places was tough but the 3 young Plymouth divers more than held their own. Although a medal wasn’t to be\, the trio walked away with their heads held up high and having gained some valuable experience. Teagan Mousley finishing 12th just behind her teammate Alice Jones in 11th and Isla Applin in 7th. Eva Tsianavas was the only diver competing in the D2 group and dived well throughout but the competition for the top places was intense and she finished 20th overall. \nGroup C1 boys had Kaiwen Dun and Lincoln Stephens diving and they both produced some very consistent diving to finish in 6th and 7th respectively\, only separated by a single point. Having watched his teammates face some tough competition it was finally time for Louie McCue to try and secure a top 3 medal. Despite the excellent opposition he remained calm and composed and produced some outstanding dives to finish in 3rd and walk away with the bronze medal. \nThe divers enjoyed their first ever national competition and were coached by Fito Gutierrez\, Lucy Freeman-Gutierrez and Ebony Colbourne. With Mark Jones gaining valuable experience as a level one judge at his first major competition. \nThe weekend’s success again highlights that the future of diving in Plymouth is looking good and with the ongoing support of Plymouth Active Leisure and Pilkington Estates\, Plymouth Diving is hoping for continued success. \n \n

SUMMARY:Southampton Invitational
DESCRIPTION:Plymouth Diving kick started the new season travelling to the Southampton Invitational\, held 22nd-24th October. The team of 17 divers were full of positive attitude despite limited training following a ten-day pool closure\, which pitted elite and age group divers in the West Quay Pool.  \n  \nCoach Fito Guttierez said that this competition was a chance for the divers to try new dives and set the bar for improvements in 2023 towards gaining scores for qualifying for National Age Groups and Junior Elites at the Plymouth Armada Cup in February. \n  \nHarry Westbury was the only Plymouth diver representing the D group boys on both 1m and 3m boards\, where he placed 6th on 1m\, and won the first medal of the competition\, a bronze on the 3m. \n  \nLexi Davies\, Eva Lang and Martha Ticehurst represented the C group girls\, all diving brilliantly in a large group of 30\, where Lexi proved consistent diving on both springboard events rewarding her a place in the final on 1m continuing to win a bronze medal. \n  \nOscar Westbury\, Noah Underwood\, Alex Whittaker and Will Heath competed in the C group boys event\, a tight contest\, all displaying their skills with Alex Whittaker making two finals on the 3m and platform events and taking the silver medal in the platform final. Will Heath also joined Alex in the platform final\, just missing out on a podium finish in fourth place but gaining a new PB.  \n  \nWhilst there were no medals in the large B group girls event\, there were plenty of new PB’s won. Erin Healey\, Rose McCabe and Mathide Tassart all dived brilliantly for Plymouth\, and all managed new PB’s\, Erin 35 points on 1m\, Tilly also a PB on 1m. Rose achieved PB’s on all her boards with a huge 30 point PB on 1m. Great successes to all three girls. \n  \nThe A group girls saw finals reached for Maia Pearson on 3m and Ellie Pearce on 1m\, who both pulled out the dives in the finals and took home a silver medal each on their respective boards. Maddie Elliot joined this group\, new to age group diving and diving up from B group\, and just missing the finals in 8th position. \n  \nElite divers this year meant that the divers had to place in the top two in the preliminaries of the elite diver category to continue into the final. Whilst Scarlett Colbourne placed 4th on the 1m\, she just missed out on a final spot. Ollie Heath placing 6th in preliminaries and Archie Waines who dived up a year in A came 7th\, meant that they were also unable to join the finals but demonstrated excellent diving on their boards. \n  \nDivers were supported by Pilkington Estates\, and coached by Fito Guttierez\, Tommy Davies and Harry Mason.  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:ESSA Schools
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday the 11th of December\, English Schools Swimming Association held their 67 th National Diving Championships\nat the renowned London Aquatic Centre home to many Olympic divers. The South West entered a\nteam of 22 Divers aged between 10 and 17 representing eighteen different schools in the region.\nMedals were secured in all age groups and the South West should be proud of the talent being\ndeveloped in the region. Primary competitors\, Isla Applin (Montpelier Primary) secured a silver\nmedal with Teagan Mousley (Oreston Community) a worthy 5 th . Harry Westbury (Stoke Damerel\nPrimary) missed out on a bronze by just one point and Isaac Ide (Morley Meadow) came an\nhonourable 6 th . \nLast month Isla and Isaac competed in the Swim England Talent Games. Selection\nalone for this competition is an honour and is an indication of their potential to do well in a\nchallenging sport in the future. \nThe Juniors gained points with Will Heath (Plymouth College) and Oscar Westbury (Devonport High)\ncoming 5 th and 6 th respectively. In the girls Ava Cowper (South Dartmoor Community College)\nfinished with an impressive hard fought bronze just 8 points from a gold. Intermediate\, Ollie Heath\n(Plymouth College) dived impressively for his silver. The intermediate girls faced fierce competition.\nScarlett Colbourne (Stoke Damerel) achieved points which were on par to a 5 th place finish in the\nboys section. For the seniors\, Katie Martin (Tor Bridge High) and Archie Waines (Lipson Community\nCollege) both achieved bronze medals. \nThe day ended with mixed synchro. It transpired that the South West were a force to be reckoned\nwith. A new event for Will Heath and Ava Cowper who were just edged out of gold to finish with a\nsilver and brother Ollie Heath with Maia Pearson (Devonport High) also concluded the competition\nwith a silver medal. \nOther divers who contributed towards the South West winning the Team Trophy included; Alice\nJones\, Sophie Hamlin (Bournemouth Girls)\, Poppy Jones\, Louie McCue\, Noah Underwood\, Alex\nWhittaker\, Ben Hall\, Erin Healey\, Lexi Davies and Ellie Pearce. To win overall out of the eight regions\nwas a triumph for this talented squad of divers\, the South West and Plymouth Diving. A tremendous\nachievement made possible by the schools that supported the divers along with the hard work of\ncoaches and volunteers\, all of whom the Club would like to thank. Coaches on the day were Fito\nGutierrez\, Harry Mason and Josh Freeman supported by Team Managers Bridget Heath and Emma\nWaines.

SUMMARY:CAMO
DESCRIPTION:Amelie Underwood a former gymnast was spotted on a scouting trip by\nPlymouth Diving coach Sally Freeman where she attended Montpellier Primary\nSchool. An invitation to join the Talent Squad followed which was accepted\nand Amelie made steady progress. She took part in her first skills competition\nin 2018 at the age of ten where she finished in the top six.\nBetween 2018 and 2020 there were numerous top six finishes and several\npodium placings for Amelie at age group level competitions.\nIn 2020 Sally recognised that Amelie had the credentials to become part of the\nNational Elite Squad and compete at a higher level of events. This was a big\nundertaking for Amelie; it meant joining an established group of divers who\nwere much older and with greater experience than her. Amelie took the move\nin her stride and fitted in well due to her maturity\, hardworking attitude and\nlevel headed approach.\nAt the British Elite Diving Championships in October 2021 Amelie was\nsuccessful and won a silver medal for her 1m and 3m performance. By April\n2022 at the same competition Amelie was stronger and more polished\,\nbringing home the gold medal for the 1m and 3m. Acknowledged for her\ncontinued development Amelie was selected to represent England at the\nCAMO Invitational in Montreal\, Canada.\nThe 3m board at CAMO was the most lucrative for Amelie. After the\npreliminary round she was in sixth position but gave the final her absolute all\nto win the silver medal. Juliette John from Crystal Palace Diving Club joined\nAmelie on the podium in third place.\nOn the 1m board Amelie finished fourth in the preliminary round and\nupgraded this positon to win a bronze medal in the final. Juliette finished in\nfirst place. Corin Burrows-Mackley from Dive London Aquatics Club finished in\nfifth position on both the 1m and 3m boards making the English trio a force to\nbe reckoned with.\nParents Paul and Zoe along with Brother Noah are incredibly proud of Amelie’s\nachievements to date. As part of the Swim England Y Camp Development\nProgramme the next chapter for Amelie is set to be promising with many more\nsuccesses to come. Sally continues to nurture Amelie’s diving and credit has to\nbe given to Sally for detecting her potential at an early age.

SUMMARY:Armada Cup
DESCRIPTION:Last weekend saw the biggest event in the Plymouth Diving calendar take place at the Life Centre\, with over 150 divers from clubs across the country battling it out for honours at the Pilkington Estates 2023 Armada Cup Diving Competition.  \nJunior Elite A Boys saw Euan McCabe win gold in the 3m with club mate Archie Waines scooping the silver. In the B boys category Oliver Heath produced some outstanding dives achieving some 9’s (the only ones of the competition) to win the 1m\, 3m and Platform events with Theo Stevens earning a bronze in the 1m event and silver in the Platform with all 4 boys qualifying for the National Finals. In the Junior Elites girls events Plymouth divers Scarlett Colbourne\, Katie Martin and Maia Pearson dived superbly all weekend with Katie and Maia making the National Finals. \nThe outstanding performances from Elite divers Euan\, Oliver and Amelie Underwood were hot the heels of the Junior divers participating in the British National Diving Cup held in Edinburgh which is a Senior competition.  As with all sports at an elite level\, injuries are common forcing Amelie to withdraw but Oliver represented Plymouth on 3m and Platform with Euan joining him on 3m.  Both boys produced some outstanding dives against Olympians and the experience was invaluable. \nUnlike many competitions the Armada Cup sees Age Group divers compete alongside the Junior Elites which makes for a very busy and frantic weekend. The Age Group competition was fierce and there were some fantastic performances from the Plymouth divers. In the A category for 16 to 18 year-olds Ben Hall\, Ellie Pearce\, Madeleine Elliott and Mathilde Tassart achieved the qualifying score for the National Finals. The best result in this category following some excellent dives was a brilliant bronze in the 1m event for Ellie. \nIn the B category for 14 and 15 year olds Noah Underwood\, Erin Healey\, Lexi Davies\, Eva Lang and Yvie Tucker all made the National Finals qualifying scores. The divers also walked away with plenty of medals with Noah collecting bronze medals in the 1m\, 3m and Platform events following some brilliant and consistent dives. Erin and Lexi battled it out on Platform pushing each other until the last dive where Erin held her nerve and produced an amazing final dive to win gold\, pushing Lexi into second. Lexi rounded off her competition with another well-deserved silver in the 1m event. Rose McCabe and Martha Ticehurst were also diving in the B category and came away with some great scores. \nIn the C category for 12 and 13 year olds Will Heath\, Oscar Westbury\, Isaac Ide\, Poppy Jones\, Ava Cowper all made the National Finals qualifying scores. Not to be outdone by his brother Will dived superbly and won gold in the 3m and Platform events following some excellent dives. Lincoln Stephens and Eva Tsianavas also dived in their first Age Group competition performing well and gaining valuable experience at this level.  \nThe youngest divers in the competition are in the D category for 10 and 11 year old divers with Teagan Mousley and Isla Applin achieving National Final qualifying scores. Harry Westbury dived well all weekend and won silver in the 1m\, 3m and Platform event. In the girls events Isla produced some great dives to win gold in the 1m and bronze in the 3m and Platform. Teagan and Alice Jones produced some of their best diving when it counted with Teagan winning silver in the 3m and Alice winning bronze in the 1m events.   \nThe competition also saw various synchronised diving events take place where once again Plymouth produced some fantastic results. Katie Martin and Maia Pearson\, Oliver Heath and Archie Waines\, Ava Cowper and Isla Applin all winning gold in their respective events. The other pairings also fared well with Oscar Westbury and Will Heath winning silver just edging Harry Westbury and Isaac Ide into the bronze medal place. Lexi Davies and Scarlett Colbourne\, Madeleine Elliott and Erin Healey also competed and placed well in their events.  \nThe outstanding effort by all the Plymouth divers was rewarded by the club winning the Armada Cup Team Trophy after amassing the most points beating 12 other clubs in the process. \nOverall\, the weekend was a resounding success with the Plymouth divers once again showing why the city has a reputation for producing some of the best divers in the country. The club would like to thank all those involved in making the event such a success but particularly the amazing coaches Sally Freeman\, Fito Gutierrez\, Tommy Davis and Harry Mason and Tamar Fresh for the continued support.  Special thanks to Jayne Glynn our Chief Recorder who hung up her score pad for the last time after 20 years dedicated to the club.

SUMMARY:British Junior Elites
DESCRIPTION:The British Elite Junior Diving Championships\, which was hosted by British Diving and Plymouth Active returned to the Life Centre\, concluding its four-day event on Sunday\, where the best young divers in each age group competed for the national title. \n\nAn achievement to even compete\, athletes from across the nation and guests from Canada\, Germany and Finland competed. Plymouth Diving was represented by a small but strong team of seven coached by Sally Freeman and Fito Gutierrez. \n\nIn group A boys (16-18) Plymouth were represented by Euan McCabe who claimed the gold medal after qualifying first in the preliminary round and a huge PB of 31 points.  Teammate Archie Waines took the silver medal in the same event with a great performance which saw him move from 5th place in the qualifying round to second in the finals. He also competed on the 1m. \n\nThe boys were further represented in the B group with Oliver Heath and Theo Stevens. Theo reached the final on the 1m board\, and finished in 4th place\, just 3 points off bronze; a great achievement following being besieged by injuries and sickness which led to him almost being unable to compete. He also competed on the 3m. Team-mate Oliver had a fantastic competition on all three boards\, making it through to the finals on each\, and continuing to keep his nerve and gain a silver on both the 1m and 3m\, and a bronze medal on platform. \n\nFor the girls\, Amelie Underwood in group B had a great competition qualifying in first place in the preliminary rounds for both of her events and going on to win silver on 3m missing the gold by less than 2 points and bronze on the 1m.  \n\nKatie Martin and Maia Pearson represented Plymouth in group A girls. Katie qualified for the finals on 1m qualifying in 4th place and going on to compete a lovely set of dives and finish in 5th place. She narrowly missed out on the finals on 3m in 8th place.  \nMaia stepped up to her first Junior Elites Championships which provided a wealth of experience to build upon and whilst did not make the finals finished in 13th on 3m with some great dives and on 1m.  \n\nKatie and Maia also paired up for the synchro event on the 3m board. The pair managed to recover an unfortunate dive to finish in 4th place. Amelie Underwood and her partner Corin Burrows Mackley from Dive London Aquatics also competed and finished in 6th. \n\nThe boys synchro saw Oliver and Archie finishing in 5th position whilst Euan and Jake Passmore from City of Leeds Diving claimed another gold bringing the tally of medals for Plymouths team to 2 Golds\, 4 Silvers and 2 Bronze medals. \nHaving coached them through the championships\, coach Sally said “The team continues to go from strength to strength\, bearing in mind these athletes lost 17 months of training in Plymouth through Covid\, but they are still here and justifiably earnt their place in a British Junior final\, which is fantastic. True resilience!” \n\nEuan\, Oliver\, and Amelie have now to continue their training to prepare them for their next competition\, representing Team GB in Dresden\, Germany at the International Youth Diving meet from 27th April. \n\n
