Den Helder International, Holland

This was my third trip to Den Helder in Holland. Den Helder is right at the top of Holland and a long drive. I like competitions that don't have many British fighters. We have a great time and stayed in a hostel with the Parks Judo Club again. i was in the 97/98 age group at under 30's. I won all four of my fights and finished in first place. we had a great time and my dad managed not to jump through McDonalds window again this year.

Warsaw Open, Poland

I made the long trip to Poland for the Warsaw Open. I fought in both the under 13 and under 15 age groups. in the under 13's i fought in the under 30kg section and won four of my five fights losing in the final to a lad I had beaten earlier in the Day. In the under 15's I fought in the under 34kg group and won three of my four fights to win a good Silver Medal. It was a good competition and I will come back next year. This is a very strong competition with 700 fighters from fifteen countries taking part.

NHC Junior Open, High Wycombe

Alkmaar International, Holland

British Championships 'A' band, Walsall

I went to Walsall for the 2008 British Championships. I was fighting well and got through my pool winning all three of my fights. i was then in the last eight knockout and got to the final with two big wins against Tommy Chambers (Tonbridge) and Sam Blair (Pinewood). In the final I met Charlie Geary (Bedminster). I had easily beat Charlie in the pools and was confident of winning Gold. I was four yukos and one koka up with twenty seconds to go when I made a mistake and got thrown for Ippon. I was not happy.

I went up to Elgin for the Elgin Open. It was a very very long drive and we took my nana with us because she was born up there and wanted to see her sister. I had five easy fights and won them all very fast. My nana is Scottish so knows nothing about judo and thought I had lost two of them!!!!!
