1st COMMONWEALTH GAMES (ENGLAND) QUALIFYING COMPETITION
Saturday, 19th January @ The Wrestling Academy, Salford
The club's A squad travelled up and was hosted by PaulB of our Manchester group for this auspicious event. It was unfortunate that on the night prior to the competition during weigh in, the competitors were informed of the revised weight classes. This caused much disorientation amongst competitors who had trained towards the maximal of their individual targetted weight classes. Most competitors had to resort to last minute weight lose activities just to make the weight and the unfortunate ones had to move up which greatly disadvantaged their position.
Results:
Ozkan Dogan (LAW) - Silver (Seniors 60kg)
Abdul Reza Panahi - Bronze (Seniors 84kg)

BRITISH SENIORS CHAMPIONSHIPS 2000
June 2000 @ Birmingham Leisure Centre UK
This year's event drew an average turnout with the usual medallists the likes of ThomasC, PaulS, JohnM and FarshadM back to defend their British titles. This year's event raised the roof with increased tension in a bout between wrestlers from the Manchester and Kensington (London) clubs which caused a furore due to a deciding point being awarded for a controversial "control position". This caused the team and supporters from the Kensington club to walk out in protest and missed the medal ceremony. Another incident saw a wrestler being disqualified for allegedly punching the back of his opponent's head!
Result:
Kiki(LAW) - 1st (female 82kg uncontested)
