Three months after making her debut as a wrestling referee Cwmbran’s Tilly Gordon has been back in the ring.

The 16-year-old former Cwmbran High School wants to be a professional wrestler. Last Saturday she was asked by Exposure Wrestling to referee several bouts, including the main event, at their show in The Neon in Newport.

Her dad Craig said: “After the event she was buzzing! So excited.”

Exposure Wrestling’s next show is in Pontnewydd Working Men’s Club on Saturday 25 September. Tickets are £10 adults, £5 children or £25 family. Doors open 5pm. First bell is 6pm
