Posted by admin We took 12 players to this highly competitive 3-Star event (6 on each day). The competition was attended by over 1000 players from every corner of the country. Naturally, we were well supported by the BSJC “choir” of parents and family members.
Our team of gladiators comprised:
- Ben Attwood – 3 fights –Bronze medal
- Toby Attwood- 2 fights – Silver medal
- Isaac Matthews- 4 fights – won two and just missed out on a medal
- Eli Brittan – 5 fights – including a superb Te-Guruma counter for a spectacular ippon – Bronze medal
- Hannah Pitt – 3 fights – beat the current British Champion – Bronze medal
- Elle Young – 4 fights – won two against some tough players and just missed out on a medal
- Megan Robinson – 5 fights – Bronze medal
- Jack Reeves – 3 fights – Silver medal
- Lele Nairne – 4 fights – Bronze medal
- James Hayes – 5 fights, including a heart-stopping ippon in the very last second of one contest – Silver medal
- Pete Miles – 5 fights – Gold medal
- Myles Nelson – 3 fights – Gold medal
It would be unfair to pick out individuals because our players all fought out of their skins. Their attitudes both in victory and in defeat were terrific, and it was an honour to be a part of the team. I don’t think that any other club achieved the same ratio of medallists.
Thanks must also go to Ben A, James H and to Kevin Nairne for their help and support. At times we had players on 3 out of the 4 mats and they made sure that we always had someone at mat-side until I could get there from another mat.
Thank you for a fantastic weekend!
