While 2 were over sea's we had 4 players over the water... Matthew and Joe Kavanagh were fighting this weekend in the age banded USA Open, some Brits have gone, and failed!! But the two brothers were in with the medals with Joe winning a bronze medal and Matthew silver, Matthew on the end of some dubious refereeing in the final...
If that wasn't enough Matthew entered the under 20, winning his first fight against a 19 year old, not bad considering he is only 14 and a half. This all bodes well for their future in judo and Matt with his eye on selections for the World Youth Olympics in 2010.
While the boys were fighting over the Atlantic four Ford players were fighting over the Thames.
Neimah, Tia, Thomas and Kane were all taken part in Bushido's Class Masters Competition in Tonbridge in Kent..
Great performances from the youngsters see Tia and Kane both win gold while Tia's little brother obtained a silver and a good effort from Neimah got here the first bronze place... Nikki Jackson reported back saying the kids fought brilliant with Tia winning all her fights by ippon.. some great combinations from the youngsters and excellent transition work proved that all their hard work at the dojo is paying off...
Roles were reversed for the Kavanagh brothers as they entered their second comp while they were "Holidaying" in the States. Joseph stepped up a gear to win Silver while Matthew was close behind with a Bronze medal. A great haul for the brothers and will hopefully keep them on track to medal in the Heart of England and the National Championships in some weeks time...
Keep up the good work kids
