Andrea is a world beater once more, plus Southern League round-up

The PANVAC world beater won the over 45 weighted throw at the World Masters Athletics Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden. She threw a season's best distance of 14.00m to secure top spot on the podium.

Though not a staple on the senior track and field circuit, the weighted throw is big in the USA and as an event has similarities to the hammer.

Jenkins is not unfamiliar with winning weighted throw gold, having won a previous World Championship and four European Championships. She has also accumulated a large tally of international silvers and bronzes over the years.

Jenkins narrowly missed out on another medal, finishing fourth in the throws pentathlon in Sweden.

Over 60 Paul Parkin was also in action, but finished outside the medals in the 8km cross country race and the half marathon.
