Rebecca De Torres – Swimming
Before the entire 2019/20 competitive swimming programme was brought to an abrupt halt after just three months by Covid, Rebecca, from Cardiff, managed to set a new Welsh National Junior short course record for the 50m Freestyle and 50m butterfly. She also represented Wales in the McCullagh International Meet in Bangor, Ireland.
Rebecca says “For the 2020/21 season I have been selected to join the Swim Wales National Elite Development Squad. As soon as we are able to resume competition I hope to continue my form and development and one day reach my goal of representing Wales at the Commonwealth Games.
“I would just like to say thank you very much to SportsAid Cymru Wales for your very kind support grant this year. It will enable me to buy some new training equipment.”
Sara Phillips - Cricket
Sara, aged 14 from Llanelli, is a passionate - and skilful - cricketer, representing Wales at U-15 and U-17. She is also in the Senior Development Squad. Throughout the winter she has been training with the Western Storm T20 team based at the South West Regional Training Centre in Taunton. The team is jointly supported by Somerset & Gloucester Cricket Clubs and Exeter University. On her debut Sara took 5 wickets for 38 runs off her eight overs! With female cricket riding the crest of a wave, Sara's parents, Carwyn and Elaine, thanked SportsAid Cymru Wales for helping Sara with her career.
