A tough day today for Abigail at the British Schools Championships, no medal but a seventh place finish overall at her first British championships.
A little more work and she will hit the medals. She gave her opponents some good fights and racked up some nice scores along the way.

Today Abigail fought in the London Regional Schools Championships, her first event since the beginning of the year and a big step up from her previous events which she has dominated.
She competed against some of the best young Judoka in the country today and her performance improved with each contest. Securing a second place finish in her pool earned her a place in the semi final where she met the pool winner (& eventual gold medallist) from the other side of the draw. Abigail fought relentlessly, taking the contest to time but with a wazari against her, she didn't reach the final on this occa

Abigail & Edd both fought at the NHC Schools Championships in Brentwood today.
It was Abigail's first time fighting in her new weight category. No medal today but some strong contests and plenty of experience gained. She will now focus on training for her next event in January.
It was Edd's first time fighting at this level and with his current Rugby scholarship commitments he has not been able to put in as much Judo training as we would like. However, this boy was on fire today & came away with a fantastic silver medal 🥈.
Edd won four out of five contests by ippon throws and also beat the gol
