1997 SOUTHERN REGION CLOSED WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS - RESULTS


Held at Pavilion Leisure Centre, Bromley, Kent, 30th March 1997.

A total of 89 wrestlers gave the officials a headache to start the day, as most of the entrants were not registered and the hosts of the Championships, the United Olympic Wrestling Club, had personally invited the Baverstock and Bushloe Clubs to participate. As they were comparative novices to the sport the Southern Regions Club coaches agreed to permit them to wrestle in the Championships. Once the wrestling commenced, the atmosphere was electric with all wrestlers receiving ear shattering vocal support, and therefore adding to the officials headaches. Nonetheless, it was probably the best Southern Region Championships and thanks must be expressed to the hosts the United Olympic Wrestling Club, with their officials and helpers, and the officials :- Ted Hurdle, Cheryl Capstick, Phil Meade, Mehdi Mousavi, Ranjit Singh, Irvin Campbell, Aziz, and Ben Beck.
