Sedgley's Joab Sneyd grapples his way to a national championship
Joab Sneyd has become a national champion in wrestling after just one year of training.
The 17-year-old, from Sedgley, joined Wolverhampton Wrestling Club a year ago to help improve his grappling skills for rugby, however he quickly quit the sport to concentrate fully on wrestling.
Now, just 12 months after starting, the teenager has won gold at the British National Wrestling Championship in the 92kg under-17 category – making him the best wrestler for his age in the country.
"I am really proud of myself, and I am happy with what I have achieved. My hard work has paid off," Joab said.
