Congratulations to Mateusz Matuszczak who won his supermatch in the first event of Strong Armwrestling League (SAL) in Poland today ( 31st May) in a Vendetta against Polish champ Kuksa. He's been doing well recently after returning from a long layoff & won 5 - 1. Well done Mateusz.

Liam Kirby of Deathgrip Armwrestling Club ran a novice warzone last weekend & kindly supplied the results meaning that I can promote two of the participants to Pro Status - Jordan Shelton & Mindaugas Puidokas. Congratulations. If you are slaving away to get yourself out of the shallow end & think you've been overlooked, let me know, but have a look at the progression page for how it all works first. Not all results reach me - but I make reasonable attempts to promote people based on performance at recognisable events.

ARMGODS ENGLAND has a full card of fun for their event in BALSALL COMMON COVENTRY on Saturday 6th June. Some close matches are scheduled, I've talked to a few people on the phone who are going to be there & we are looking forward to the battles. Daniel Constantine vs Reuben Hughes, Adrian Popescu vs Murray Whitehead, Mantas Dauneckis vs Mindaugas Dulskas, were the ones that I'm most intrigued with - sometimes I have an opinion, other times not. Often friends are against each other & I don't have a favourite. I've been round the block enough to know nothing is certain. Champions can make mistakes, the underdog may have improved greatly whilst remaining unnoticed & everyone has circumstances outside of sport that affect their performance on the day. We shall have to see. Tickets & online viewing via www.armgods.com

​​

Armagh Geddon Armwrestling have been promoting a number of events this year with the latest being the Siege of Dagda which is on 27th June. Full details have been added to the events calendar. 

​​​

There are four more PAA Regional warzones scheduled. Next one is NEWCASTLE on JULY 4th. That's the day when the big spaceships hover over the cities. Competitors might need to wear tinfoil hats just in case. ​​​

​​

Summerslam is 18th July in SUSSEX. Be beside the seaside & get your arm cranked whilst eating the barbecue & dip in the sea after. 

​​​​

We have representatives striking out abroad before & after the Euros:

​​​​​

Tom Holland is taking on Justin Bishop in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA on 6th June. Tom is no stranger to battling the yanks & whilst he has been on other big name promotions I think that this is his first on East vs West. Good luck Tom. 

​​​

​On the same card, Bogdan Stoica is the next opponent of Todd Hutchings. I've followed Bogdan on his escapades abroad & seen him demolish highly rated opponents first hand in Ireland & America. I'm a big fan of Toddzilla so it's a dream match. Good luck with it Bogdan, wish him the best why don't you?​​

See you down the road.
