North West Age Banded Championships

9 players from the club travelled to St Helens, Liverpool. This was the second of the major home country championships which is used for selection for Co option on to the National squad and also selections for trials for the Cadet European Championships which are being held in Slovenia in June.
Saturday had our younger players competing and all put in great performances, Charlie Jackson just missing his weight category by .2 kgs fought in a new higher division and fought extremely well and both Duncan Ward and James O'shea showing great promise winning 2 of their 4 fights each.
DJ Irving was on great form representing our lightest category, -34kg, with a bad refereeing decision stopped dj's chances of gaining a place in the final, DJ kept his composure to win his next fight to gain a bronze medal.
Kelly Staddon added to her Gold medal from the Midland Championships recently another Gold, Kelly was impressive showing her strength & Conditioning program she is working to is paying off as she looked fast and strong.
Sunday had Ford's elder players where armlocks and strangles are permitted as well as throws and pins.
3 of the 4 players gained places in the final all of which are on the England Talent Squad. They were Tom Williams, Chloe Jackson and Brandon Tutthill.
Both Tom and Chloe gained Silver medals, both were disappointed with how the finals went with errors being made from both players resulting in their loss, lessons learnt as part of their development.
Brandon Tutthill was on confident form and looking sharp, his transition work from standing to ground work was impressive strangling two of his 3 opponents in to submission, with his 3 win coming from a clean 10 point win throw.
Matthew Kavanagh, showed true grit after a long trip back from a skiing trip with his school, travelled up to liverpool the same day to fight the following day.
His first fight see Matthew suffer from the travelling just losing to a fellow England squad member. Matthew dug deep to go on to win all his next 4 fights to win bronze, a great effort...
All in all a good weekend for Ford Judo Club, gaining 6 medals from the 9 players entered, a good start to the year so far.
