Derbyshire Sports Awards - Shortlisted

I got confirmation today that I have been shortlisted in the final two for the Derbyshire Junior Sportsman of the Year Category.  I now have to attend the awards night next month. I have won the High Peak award four times but this is the first time I have made it through to the County Awards.

Northern Area Senior Ranking Event

Was not expecting much in the Senior event. Didn't feel good today.

Dominic Nelson (Bradley Stoke) First Fight

Threw Dom for Ippon with drop Morote.

Danny Powell (Wolverhampton) Second Fight

Danny was still fighting well having beat Pete Miles in the final of the Cadet competition. The fight went all the way but I still lost by a Yuko.

Wade Roll (Budokwai) Bronze Fight

I was looking for a good win to give me some confidence back but Wade was disqualified for a leg grab early in the fight.

Northern Area Cadet Ranking

Connor Eaton (Newburn) First Fight

Got off to a good start winning with an armlock in the first twenty seconds

Danny Powell (Volverhampton) Second Fight

Danny was fighting well today and he threw me for ippon after about two minutes. 

Alistair Sheppard (Comberton)

Could tell I was not on form today. Struggled to control the fight. Was pleased to win with choke...eventually.
