Another brilliant show in the 90k division, with all the lads giving it their all (even in pretty much solid rain all day!) Highlights of the show was Ben Pierces frame press (22 reps! with 2nd being 15 and 3rd 12 respectively) and Jamie Allabys deadlift (15 reps with a 175kg fatbar!)

Overall a great consistant performance from Andy Okane ruled supreme, with training partner Ben Pierce in second.

Must give a quick mention to Matt Rouse who on the last event needed 13 reps on the stone to get a top 4 place, the guy gave it his all (and I mean truly bust a gut going for it!) but narrowly missed with just12 reps, this guy will be back next year no doubt!!

The top 4 will join the Northern and Southern qualifiers to go to the first ever Under 90kg Englands Strongest Man in July

Events and dates to follow shortly

Thanks
