THREE body builders from Andover have scooped top prizes in a regional competition and are now targeting national success.

Martin Caffrey, Ryan Rawlinson and Jack Phillips recently competed in the UKBBFF South Coast Championships in Portsmouth where all three took home honours in various categories.

Mr Caffrey, owner of Caffrey's Gym, scooped top prize in the competition's Beginners category and was joined on the podium by fellow gym member Mr Phillips, who took second place.

Meanwhile, Mr Rawlinson, also a member at Caffrey's Gym, took first place in the Under 70kg category and will join both Mr Caffrey and Mr Phillips at the UKBBFF National Championships in October.

Talking about the success, Mr Caffrey said: "Nobody expected us to get what we got because we are a fairly small gym compared to some of the big players out there so we are still in shock really.

"It's been fantastic for us and it just proves if you have the determination anyone can do it.

"We have well and truly put Andover and Caffrey's Gym on the map."
