Roebuck in title treble

ROTHERHAM swimmer Joe Roebuck celebrated a hat-trick of gold medals at the British Gas International.

Roebuck (27) from Rawmarsh, won gold in the 100m and the 200m butterfly, as well as the 200m individual medley at the John Charles Centre in Leeds last weekend.

After his recent switch from Loughborough University to Bath ITC to train, Roebuck is now fortunate to train alongside Olympic silver medallist Michael Jamieson, something that he is already reaping the benefits of.

He said: “It was a really tough race night but I enjoyed being up against such a high-calibre field.”

Meanwhile Rebecca Turner earned a silver medal in the Women’s 200m freestyle.

The 20-year-old from Wickersley won her heat to qualify for the final and finished less than a second behind Femke Heemskerk, who claimed the gold.
