Class Masters Invitation Competition Tonbridge
It was the turn of Ford Judo clubs little ones today and I came away pleasantly surprised. Starting the day was tiny Samuel Woodgate, all 17kg of him. Fighting 3 much bigger boys he gave a brave performance and really tried things we had been working on. He earned himself a Bronze medal and a 'Spirit of Judo Award'.
Also, twins Amy and Jade Dennis were up against bigger girls, but they were giving them a really good pull around working hard to break their partners balance, both picked up bronze medals.
Issac Gauld-Monseguz was back on form, looking very strong for his tiny frame was impressive with his fast transition, holding 2 of his 3 opponents and throwing the other to take Gold.
Joseph Kelly was an eye opener. Looking like he had been around for years gave a great performance showing a good range of judo. Joe listened to what was being instructed to him, at such a young age it was impressive, Joe won Gold.
Lewis Fong was taking part in his first comp as was most of the other players and it took his first couple of fights for him to get into the swing of things, he did exactly as planned for his last fight and looked good, winning with a knockdown and good transition gave him the hold which won him the fight.
Bailey Kirkham was on great form winning his first 2 fights with ease. It was clear to see Bailey had learnt from his weeks of training. He was to fight a boy who had also won both his fights in the final, Bailey lost out but took a well earned Silver and also a lesson learnt from the defeat.
Harry Cleminson was probably our most inexperienced player only doing judo a few weeks but displayed great determination and controlled his opponents fantastically. Looking very strong, he controlled with his grips and moved his players in to some great positions. Harry won his 3 fights and would have won Gold but in a pool of 5 lost his last fight But still earned himself a Silver medal.
Matthew Gallagher, who has just earned his yellow belt was put into the orange belt section as they were the nearest weight, the difference in the grade did show but Matthew put up 2 good fights but their experience was too much for him, he did earn himself a Bronze medal and a 'Spirit of Judo Award'
This was an inexperienced team for Ford but things look good for the future, these young ones will follow in the footsteps of our young England Squad Players...... WELL DONE EVERYONE
