This was my second year at Pre-Cadet and I was in good form and really ready for it this year. I had trained really hard and been to Poland on a camp. I had also had a week down at Gendros Judo Club training with them and doing lots of hill work on the beach. There were 21 in my weight group and lots of good fighters were in it. I really wanted the Gold medal after losing in the final the last two years.
Ewan Paul (Scotland) First Fight
Ewan had recently won the Scotish Championships and I had never fought him before. It took a bit to work his style out but I threw him for wazari near the end of the fight and held him down.
Connor Eaton (Northern Area) Second Fight
I fought Connor at the Heart of England and he is tall and hard to grip up. The fight went three minutes and I won with a yuko.
Freddy Hendy (Western) Third Fight
I had not fought Freddy before but I knew he was good as he won the 'A' band British in 2009. I threw him for Yuko then for Ippon with my uchi-mata.
Adam Herwig (Southern) Semi-Final
Adam is a good strong fighter who caused me some problems at the Heart of England. I was fighting well now and threw Adam for ippon with Uchi-Mata
Hasan Karakus (Northern Area) Final
I was now in my third British Championship final in a row and was in the mood to win the Gold. Adil is a very good fighter who has beaten me in the past. He has a great Uchi-Mata and had destroyed everybody in the other half of the draw. I controlled him well and avoided a massive uchi-mata attack from him. I then put in my Uchi-Mata to throw him for Ippon.
I had won and was British Champion for 2010. It was a good Birthday present to give my dad
