At 6am on Sunday 23rd October 2011 the Brondesbury College Wrestling Team was already on its way to compete at the British Junior Wrestling Championships, being held at Whitgift School in Croydon, South London.
After a 2 month layoff over the summer holidays and with only 4 weeks to prepare, it was doubtful whether or not we would be ready in time to participate in a competition of this magnitude.
The kids worked extremely hard in the short time they had and with Allah’s help, tremendous dedication and perseverance, a team of 8 wrestlers (ranging from 3l – 96 kilos) were able to get in shape for the competition.
All our wrestlers competed in the Schoolboys (under 16) category and with Allah’s mercy all 8 medalled at the championships with one ‘Abdul Muthalleb Gafore’ earning the right to be called British Champion. MashaAllah!

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“Verily, Allah loves that when anyone of you does a job he should perfect it” (Al-Bayhaqi).
There is still a long long way to go, but inshaAllah we are heading in the right direction. We ask Allah SWT to give us the tawfiq and righteous intention.
