In the same age group, Robert Green produced a snatch of 75kg and a personal best of 101kg in the clean and jerk.

Peter Dutton shone at 19 years, with a snatch of 98kg and a new personal best 126kg in the clean and jerk.

Josh Cox was the fourth St Birinus lifter to excel with a personal best of 69kg in the snatch and a clean and jerk of 88kg in the 15 years age group.
