2nd

March – British Schools at Oldbury College, Birmingham

Match Report By Alex Phillips – Eighteen lifters from the City Barbell, Gladiator, Kilmarnock, and

Pitlochry clubs represented Scotland in this competition with fifteen winning gold, two winning silver

and one bronze. This was yet another very successful British competition for our lifters, and what is very

encouraging is that we had four clubs entering lifters, and all of them coming back with British titles.

Also most of those titles were won quite convincingly from their nearest opposition. However the best

lifter of the day was undoubtedly Rebecca Tiler from Mytholmroyd, who at the age of 14 set a handful of

new British records all the way up to junior level. Rebecca weighing just over 63kg snatched 78kg and

jerked 102kg for a 180kg total, and is surely going to be a name we are going to hear a lot about in the

future.

31st March – Scottish Junior & U-23’s at Kilmarnock, Ayrshire

Eight female and twenty-five male lifters took part in this well run event at the

Kilmarnock weightlifting club premises. Among the female lifters there were good

performances from Charley Craig of the Gladiator club and Pitlochry’s Zoe Davidson, but

the best performance, was undoubtedly that of home favourite Sophie Smyth, who set a

new Scottish U-23 and junior jerk record, with her 81kg effort.

There were many good performances from the male lifters, but the three that stood out

were Kilmarnock members Jordon Haydon and Dale Cree, as well as Zach Courtney from

Edinburgh. Jordon set a new Scottish junior record with his 115kg snatch, while Zach set

new Scottish U-23 and junior records with his 125kg snatch, on his way to winning the

best junior lifter award. And Dale totalled the highest number of Sinclair points, on his

way to winning the best U-23 lifter award.
