Women Wrestlers
Hardeep is in the Yorkshire Dales to meet Connie Hodgson, who is competing in the very first women's Cumberland and Westmoreland wrestling world championship.
Dillicar Farm, in Dentdale east of Kendal, has been home to three generations of the Hodgson family. Dairy farming and Cumberland and Westmoreland wrestling are in their blood. The women of the family are pioneers in the field and are about to make history. The Hodgson girls are competing in the first women's Cumberland and Westmoreland wrestling world championship. This ancient sport is enjoying a resurgence but the way of life that's shaped this land and the people who've lived there for centuries, is slowly disappearing. Will Connie Hodgson win the world championship and can Dillicar Farm survive?
Producer: Phil Pegum.
