40 competitors took part in teams of two and Shuttleworth students were responsible for weighing and verifying the catches and running the scoreboard. The event was sponsored by Shuttleworth College, BT Sport, Fosters Birmingham and Reuben Heaton.
There were 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes for the largest accumulative weight with the winner taking home £500, a trophy and a set of Reuben Heaton scales.
