ONLY one women’s team took part in the charity Truck Pull in Stroud on Sunday, May 24.

And they pulled their Eddie Stobart truck in fifth - out of 11 teams.

The 15 women came from Nailsworth Strength and Fitness.

Team member Karen Flynn said: “Not only were we the only women's team in the event but the only women in the competition full stop and the only team to finish with all members.

“Our entry also demonstrates the change in trend that has occurred in recent years with more women getting into lifting weights and doing power work to keep in shape and sculpt bodies.”

Celebrating their success afterwards Catherine Benjamin added: “It was amazing, a brilliant day.”
