Caitlin Brown was the star as Kidlington & Gosford’s small squad of 13 swimmers came second in the top club competition at the Sheffield Open Meet at Ponds Forge.

Brown won five of her six races, coming second in the other and posted three county qualifying times.

Zak Gibson, Jamie Ward, Dan Ward and Katie Parsons also shone for Kidlington, who finished runners-up to the 107-strong Leeds team.

Having held second place for most of the gala, Kidlington slipped to third before their girls’ 50m freestyle relay team stormed to victory in the last race of the day.
