The Northern Ireland Open Wrestling Championships was organized by the Knockagh Wrestling Club and took place in Downshire School, Carrickfergus on the 30th April 2011.
The action began with a Tag Wrestling Competition for the novice wrestlers who wished to take part in the day and gain some experience of competing in front of a crowd.
The 12 young wrestlers, both male and female, many of whom had only been wrestling a few months put on a great display of ability and determination.
In the main event were 10 wrestling clubs across the UK, Ireland and one competitor travelling all the way from Spain to take part in the competition.
This provided 65 wrestlers from the age of 7 years old and above who rose to the challenge and provided a magnificent display of wrestling in their pursuit of the championship win.
The action took place across two mats and the day ran very smoothly for all those involved with a minimum of disruption.
Many of those who attended, both coaches and wrestlers, congratulated the organisers of the event for a well run competition and an event which had a very high standard of wrestling.
On behalf of the Organizers I would like to thank the following:

• To all those wrestlers who came and made the day a special event in our calendar
• To the coaches who brought teams and kept the action flowing with having their wrestlers ready and respecting the referees and officials
• To all of the parents and helpers who have supported this event

A special thanks goes to Victor Keelan for the benefit of his refereeing skills and assisting with the running of our competition.
