Saturday the 14th of May, 2016 saw the Central Open Championships take place at Grange College of Arts in Alfreton.
“A Day Packed Full of Lifting”
The day saw a total of 75 lifters to compete for not only gold but for the chance to appear at the British Championships in June – with this competition being the last chance to qualify. Needless to say it was a long day for most with a grand total of 225 Snatches and 225 Clean and Jerks!
With the youngest lifters born in 2008 and the eldest being a Masters lifter (40+) there was a wide variety of participants and great atmosphere all round.
Congratulations to all those who lifted, you can find the results of the competition here
