York City Baths Club swimmers Tom Southam and Lewis Porylo struck silver when they represented Yorkshire with great success in the CJI Meet in Luxembourg.

Porylo came home with second places in the 100m and 200m breaststroke, while Southam was pipped for first place in the 200m individual medley.

The Yorkshire team won the best Junior Squad Trophy.
