Retired from competition two years ago. Didn’t think I’d be in a position to say this again, but I’ve got one last chance to qualify for my 4th Commonwealth Games. But here we are. It's been a graft, blood, sweat , tears , the lot.

If I make it, I’ll finish my career in Glasgow, my home , in front of friends and family. 2 qualifying competitions left this month. I’m looking for sponsorship or financial support to help me get there. If you can help or share, I’d really appreciate it Love, Bennett 🫡.

71.20 today out in Frankisch Crumbach for my 3rd @Glasgow_2026 standard . My 8th and final time competing out here. Crazy to think I first came here 11 years ago 😮‍💨. Few more comps to go before the qualifying window closes 🤞.
