LEDBURY Scouts were triumphant at the recent Malvern District Scouts annual swimming gala, and came away with all three trophies.

The event at the Lower Wick Pool in Worcester attracted teams from 2nd Malvern, 7th Malvern, Colwall, Ledbury and Leigh Sinton, and they all competed in various swimming disciplines.

Paul Bennett, group scout leader with the 1st Ledbury Scout Group, said: "There were two shields up for grabs one for the best team of under 12’s and another for the best team of over 12’s. On top of that there was a cup for the best team overall.

"Ledbury Scouts managed to win all three trophies this year, a feat not achieved at 1st Ledbury for a long time. "

He added: "Scouting in Ledbury is available to all between the ages of 6 to 96. If you wish to join or help in any way please contact me by email at gsl@ledburyscoutgroup.org.uk."
