SOLDIERS STAR IN THE POOL

摘要

A gruelling two-week training camp in Cyprus formed the perfect preparation for a strong showing from the Army's swimmers at this season's Inter-Services competitions. The men made history by claiming second spot in the pool - the first time since 1984 that they have placed anywhere other than third. LCpl James Gibson (Int Corps) and SSgt Neil Ferguson (RAPTC) gave the side an early lead with a one-two in the 800 metres freestyle and they repeated their performance in the 400 metres.
