This weekend was spent supporting the British Wrestling National Championships sponsored by Kixy. We put together the team over the last few weeks and it was great to finally see the event come to life on Friday and be in full swing on Saturday and Sunday.

The Volunteers did a fantastic job, Brian, Cheung and Ryan from The University of Salford Sports and Business Management Course and Jack Ford from the Sheffield Wednesday Community Employability Programme all got stuck into various roles in the set up and break down of the event. In addition, they worked with a large crowd, handled point scoring duties, technology set up and digital media content.

The event was 4 mats running at the same time, very fast paced with over 400 registered competitors over the weekend not to mention a large amount of spectators from clubs across the UK hoping to see their members progress to a worldwide stage one day. Credit to the British Wrestling team for putting the event together and the Birkdale Collective team look forward to assisting on future events.

Great to spend time with the Sports and Business Management students at The University of Salford helping them prepare for the busy world of networking within the sports sector.

The key message from all of us was - start building that network now, you never know where it may come in handy!
