The reintroduction of the QWA League & Masters League competition program in 2019 wasn't as well patronised as we had thought it would be. But for those 26 Weightlifting stalwarts who entered the League Final competing at Milton Weightlifting Club on the 23rd November it was a great event, and a suitable way for the QWA to finish its State competition year.

7 lifters set new personal bests and State & National Records were broken.

A big thankyou to Milton Weightlifting Club for hosting the event, and in particular Tim Redhead for his electronic genius in getting the IT requirements of the competition sorted. Thank you also to the volunteers and TO's - couldn't do it without you.

The League will return in 2020 with 2 rounds, and highest combined score from the 2 rounds going into the final.
