Last weekend I was selected to represent Great Britain at the European Cadet Championships in Tallinn, Estonia. I was in a team of seventeen players who had been selected to travel to Tallinn.

Ofek Shani (Israel) First Fight
My first fight was against a strong fighter from Israel. Ofek was ranked number 12 for the event and had won a Silver Medal at the European Cup in Portugal. This was a hard fight but I felt in control for most of it and was really pleased to win by wazari.
Denis Vieru (Moldova) Second Fight
I needed to win this fight to put me into the repecharge and at least a seventh place finish. I had expected to be fighting the number fifth seed from Ukraine who had beaten me at the CZE cup earlier in the year but Denis had beaten him easily, and on paper I had a much easier task. It wasn't the best fight I had fought and it was a very dodgy penalty for not attacking only ten seconds after a very good attack. Only losing by one penalty was very frustrating.
After a good first fight and a very close second I can take heart from a good performance. I will now move straight up to -60kg and prepare for the Nationals in December.
