Two Basildon and District SC stars helped Essex to second place in a weekend gala.

Billy Hockley swam personal bests in all his races, while Grace Francis set new standards in three out of four swims.

The pair previously competed for their club in district championship relays for their club -- with Georgina Baxter, Sacha Cohen, Cathy Flynn, Cally Lammin and Chelsea Wood completing the girls' team and Phillip Minot, Justin Young and Rhys Lewis the boys' side.

The majority of Basildon's swimmers clocked new bests in their relay legs.
