Shane Ryan continued his good form at the International Swimming League with a fifth new Irish record in Budapest today.

Having already set new standards in the 50m and 100m Butterfly and 100m Backstroke (twice), Ryan lowered the 50m Butterfly time once again.

Swimming in the 50m Butterfly Skins event, Ryan clocked 22.80 - .09 faster than his previous best of 22.89 from just over a week ago.

The Toronto Titans swimmer was also in action in the 100m Backstroke where he finished in fourth place, another excellent swim clocking 50.22, just two hundredths of a second off the Irish record of 50.20 that he set last week.

For the London Roar, Darragh Greene competed in the 100m Breaststroke where he placed eighth in 59.10.

Greene's London Roar finish the preliminary rounds in third place overall while Ryan’s Toronto Titans finished in seventh place. DC Trident and Aqua Centurions are the two teams eliminated after the 10 normal season matches.
