In 2007 Shawn Kenny and Martin Jones teamed up to take the Title.
This year the team is split and as a result 2008 will see a new team crowned Tribute real Ale Team Strongman champions.

24 stone Dale Norris is the two times Wales Strongest Man. A former Britains, Uk and international strongman competitor.
Early 2007 Dale had a terrible training injury. “I was attempting a new personal best squat of 360kgs (without any support equipment such as knee wraps, super suit or belt etc) when my quad muscle came away from the bone giving me a 100% quad tear!” This could have been a career ending injury but the Welsh Dragon roared back into training. The 2008 Team competition will be Dales return to competition and the first step to taking back his Wales Strongest man title and beyond.
As for Shawn Kenny, the second member of the 2007 winning team. Shawn’s partner had to drop from the event so a last minute partner, as yet unknown, is awaited. One thing big Shawn will say though that no matter what he will demonstrate the blood, guts, sweat and fighting spirit to retain the title Team strongman champion.
