Wow! What a day at the inaugural Southern Area Development Competition. We had our highest ever turnout of players! For many, it was their first time competing and I couldn’t be prouder of our them for stepping on the mat and having a go.

For others, it was a chance to further their competitive experience but it has been truly wonderful seeing how our young judoka have developed and matured. Additionally, witnessing the camaraderie and support of each other too. Win or lose, our little judo community is growing into something really quite special.

A big thank you to everyone who took part,
