JAY Lelliott and Jacob Peters went head-to-head for the second time in eight days as Swim Bournemouth hosted their Winter Short Course Level 2 Open Meet.

A week after their Arena League showdown at Millfield, the king of Dorset swimming and the heir apparent met in the 100m and 200m butterfly at Littledown.

Swim Bournemouth’s Lelliott, 21, Commonwealth Games finalist and European bronze medallist in 2014, won both but was pushed all the way by Poole’s British junior record holder.

Peters, 16, British junior and UK School Games champion, led both events after 50m but the Bath Uni student’s stronger underwater work saw him to victory in 54.61 and 2:00.74.

Peters, who took his turn on the top step of the podium in the 50m butterfly, clocked silver-winning times of 54.88 and 2:01.76 in the longer events, helping Poole to win the trophy for the top visiting club.

Team-mate Fiona Hardie – now back in Poole after three years at an American university – contributed six gold medals to the club’s tally of 26 gold, 24 silver and 17 bronze.

She won the 15/o 50m and 100m freestyle, 50m and 100m butterfly and 100m and 200m individual medley (IM).

Mae Phillips and Luke Roxburgh each contributed four golds to the Poole tally, Phillips winning the 9yrs 50m freestyle and butterfly, 100m backstroke and 100m IM, Roxburgh the 15/o 100m and 200m breaststroke and 100m and 200m IM.

Jazz McCrea won the 13-14yrs 50m and 100m butterfly and 200m IM with girls’ captain Jasmine Holmes striking gold in the open 200m and 400m freestyle.

Other Poole winners were Lloyd Arnold in the 13-14yrs 50m and 100m butterfly, Xavier West in the 50m backstroke and 100m freestyle, Henry Bramwell-Reeks in the 15/o 200m backstroke and 11-12yrs swimmers Robbie Hemmings in the 200m backstroke and Lara Johnston-Trow in the 11-12yrs 50m freestyle.

Brothers Kai and Max Weeks led Seagulls’ medal charge at Litteldown with 11 medals between them including six golds.

Kai stole the show for the Christchurch club, winning the 11-12yrs 50m, 100m and 200m freestyle and 100m backstroke as well as a silver and two bronze.

Elder brother Max chipped in with 50m and 100m freesstyle gold in the 13-14yrs age group.

Isaac Ellis topped a personal haul of eight medals with gold in the 200m breaststroke.

Jacob O’Hara, James Richardson and Miles Ward also contributed to Seagulls’ tally of seven gold, 10 silver and seven bronze medals.
