Didcot weightlifter Michael Causer has become British junior champion.

The Under 18 lifter, a member of the Morris Motors Weightlifting Club, took first place in his weight group - 69/u kg - at the British Junior Championships in Derby.

A snatch of 95kg followed by a clean and jerk of 120kg gave him an unbeatable 215kg total.

Causer, who is still classified as a junior, will be starting a three-year leisure and tourism course at Cardiff University in September.
