That wasn’t an easy competition for coaches. 2 platforms, 12 lifters and no rest if you are the driver as well as jumping from left side to right side of the venue. Thanks must go to Adam Spence and his help for coaching the other side of the venue, he was a great help. Thanks to Kian for taking all photos and thanks to Mariam Gulam for the video recording.

With the support of Miss Lamb from Barnhill, we could take the under 18 team to Oldbury.

Jaspreet PaulandNam Ahmadiwere umpiring in 2 categories, Barnhill have 2 young weightlifting referee now. It is shame Louise Nolan couldn't make it to Oldbury to get her chance to referee in British championships.

Makeda Lewis could get Gold medal if she could just make it to be there.
