At the event in the north-east, six members of Newton-Young’s club took part and five got medals (three golds, one silver and one bronze), making it a very successful weekend.

The National League finals come next for Newton-Young at the Copper Box, a 2012 Olympic venue in London, on November 21 and 22. He is excited about the prospect of taking part.

Newton-Young said a huge thank you to his coach Laurel Kennedy, who trains him so well.
