  • Hi @Hawkeye7: Article is new enough, free from copyvio, neutral and sourced (I moved one ref back a sentence as the info on the U25 championship looks to be covered by the second GBWBA ref, but otherwise good). I find the hook interesting and it is sourced. QPQ done. Both the image and its license are suitable. However, the article currently stands at 1399 chars - could you push it over the threshold? Thanks, Thine Antique Pen (talk) 11:24, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
