Hacton Boys Dive for Lord Coe

March 28, 2012
Two Hacton boys were chosen to represent the borough in a special display for Lord Sebastian Coe last Friday. The double Olympic champion and Chairman of the 2012 Olympic committee, visited Hornchurch Sports Centre where he was treated to a display from the Havering Cormorants Diving Club. Matthew from Year 5 and Owen in Year 4 showed off their talents firstly in the dry side area, tumbling on the trampoline and diving from the dry boards. He then gazed on as the boys treated him to a display of dives from the 1m, 3m and 5m boards. Neither boy was fazed by diving for such a Superstar. Could Hacton have two budding Tom Daley’s gearing up for a future Olympics?
