Supporting Local Athlete in Commonwealth Games
July 07, 2022
Kevin Murch, CEMEX Payroll & HR System Manager, based in Rugby,
will be proudly supporting his son Craig, representing England, at this
summer’s Commonwealth Games. Craig, a hammer thrower, was
awarded a grant from the Rugby Group Benevolent Fund to support him
with his preparation, additional physio, equipment and having to take
unpaid leave.
Craig, now 29, has been competing since he was 11 years old and specialised in the hammer at 18. He has won numerous Warwickshire and Midland Counties titles, the England Championships and was British Champion in 2019. He was selected to represent GB at the European Throwing Cup in Samorin in 2019. We wish Craig all the best in the 2022 Commonwealth Games, starting on 28th July in Birmingham. If you want to follow him, he will be throwing in the qualification pools on Thursday 4th August and hopes to qualify for the final on Saturday 6th August.
