YOUNGSTERS from Much Marcle Primary certainly made a big splash when it came to success at the recent Herefordshire Schools Swimming Gala.

Twenty Four Schools from all over the county participated in the event at Hereford Leisure Pool.

And the Much Marcle swimming team won three golds, two silver and two bronze medals, resulting in the school being awarded the winners of the Small Schools' Trophy.

A school spokesman said: "The school were very proud of the determination and sportsmanships shown by all of the children and their impecable behaviour was complemented on by the event organisers."
