    More on Hannah's results, she made the final of the 100m Freestyle on Tuesday, but sadly missed a medal and finished 6th. She didnt let that result get her down and on Wednesday 5th September Hannah collected her third medal of the game, finishing 3rd in the 100m Backstroke to earn a well deserved Bronze.

    Lets hope that Hannah makes the final of the 50m Freestyle tomorrow night at 7.40pm tomorrow night (Friday 7th September).

    Good Luck Hannah from Barnes Rugby Club
