Then Rocco stepped onto the mat, winning his first fight with a lovely throw to score ippon, unfortunately lost his second fight but then got pulled back into the rep-recharge and then went out to the eventual bronze medalist.

Now the boys can relax and enjoy the rest of their weekend in Riga knowing t

🥋 Another excellent day out on Sunday at the BJC Open National Championships. 9 Competitors in total, although 3 of them seem to have escaped the camera!

A hard event for some, but all showed good judo, along with excellent sportsmanship, and great courage to step up to this level of competition.

Sadly no placing this time for Isla, Dan, Sam or Ben in their categories.
David & George M, both in large groups, made it through their initial pools with some good wins and progressed into the final crossover pool, but were unlucky in their bronze medal matches, so both came away with 5th place - S
