group 1 boys. Louis and kian both from Ealing in 69kg and Dean im 62kg. Start at 11
Dean from Heathland-Hounslow in 62kg Gold and British u18 champion ( nearly out of competition) did 73+95. Ended up with wrong medal!
Louis in 69kg ( 64.500kg) did 101+120 and another British champion title. Kian from Barnhill high in 69kg get silver after Louis by 90+110.
In group 1 SFTF got 2 golds and one silver
Group 2 girls: Sorcha Gavin from whitmore-Harrow, surprisely did well as she trained only once a week. 51kg power snatch drop 55kg just about, clean 70kg but drop the jerk, she may have missed the total for qualifying the Commonwealth youth games, but she got the British gold medal very strongly.
She is now qualifying for English and we hope she gets the Commonwealth Youth & European youth qualification, if she trains more than twice a week.
No lifters in group 3.
Group 4 Girls. Lucky to have Noorin as our female coach and Louis to look after the board.

Shonagh from Heston in 63kg after missing few sessions just right before competition, didn’t have any PBs but cleaned 75kg and missed the jerk. she is the new British under 18 champion with 15 years old only. she lifted 56+67.
Deborah from Twyford high -Ealing registered at 75, but she was 69 sharp and unfortunately we had to move her up to 75 which changed her gold to Silver. She did 42 and 56 but just missed 47+60 (she is very new in this sport and we will hear more from her in 2015)
Alysia and Rosie both from Hounslow had another battle and this time Alysia won by 53+60 to receive silver after Mercy Brown the best female lifter. Rosie did well by 47kg snatch with her new split snatch style but lost a chance by dropping 62 & 63kg in the end.
