Record-setter Scott: Pool the other one, I’m not all that fly
SCOTT McLAY admits he’d even stunned himself after smashing a Scottish swimming record more than 15 years old.
The 19-year-old won the 50 metres butterfly at the Scottish Short Course Championships in Edinburgh in 23.46 seconds, eclipsing Todd Cooper’s time.
He said: “I was quite surprised when I popped my head up and saw the time. Fly is pretty new to me. I only really started it last season so I’m still working on the technical parts.”
Duncan Scott was almost two seconds clear of Craig McLean in winning the 200m freestyle final while Ross Murdoch made it a breaststroke hat-trick with victory in the 200m.
BASKETBALL: Glasgow Rocks remain stuck in the BBL bottom three after last night’s 84-70 defeat at London City Royals.
Darryl Wood’s men could not recover from a second-quarter collapse that saw the Royals reel off 17 points without reply.
The Rocks coach said: “We fell back into old habits, allowing our struggles on offence to knock us off on defence and it spiralled into a sloppy performance.”
