Novice Wrestling event

The Northern Ireland Wrestling Association (NIWA) is holding the Ulster Novice Wrestling Championships 2013 at the new Ebrington Pavilion.

A spokesman said: “This tournament will attract 200 wrestlers (both male and female and of all ages) plus coaches and officials from the Republic of Ireland and other home nations.

Invitations will also be extended to some of our close friends from around Europe and we can expect to see representation from Malta and Poland too. Essentially this is a grassroots development event and the purpose is to help grow the participation base of younger people involved in the sport of wrestling especially within the city.”
