WATFORD's A team preserved their Division One status with a gritty team performance in the final round of the Herts League at Borehamwood on Saturday, April 5

Needing to finish in the top four of their gala, things got off to a bad start when, after two disqualifications for false-starts, the squad was well adrift in last place after 16 events of the 49-race program.

But spurred on by team-mates, the swimmers produced some superb performances, particularly in the relay events, and at the end of the gala had pulled themselves into the fourth place that was needed.
