Juniors
Alexander Short (Edinburgh) First Fight
After a bye in the first round I had to fight Alex next. Controlled the gripping and won with Ippon
Kieran Davin (Moberley) Second Round
Kieran is awkward to fight but I got through the fight winning with wazari
Adam Khalik (Semi-Final)
Threw Adam for Ippon with Uchi-Mata.
Aiden Moffat (Tayside) Final
Aiden throws big and we had a great fight lasting seven minutes. It would have been great for it to go on until one of us scored. I think the referee got bored and was looking to dish out a penalty to end the fight. Thankfully it wasn't to me but it was a great fight.
I was really pleased to win the Gold after such a hard final. It was a tough section with quite a few good German and Belgium fighters in the group. All four medalists were from the Centre.
Seniors
I was knackered and could barely stand up and was really tempted to pull out of the seniors but the draw had been made and I was called out to fight really quickly.
Lucas Rowe (JHardy Spicer) First Fight
Despite being exhausted I started the seniors really well catching Lucas with a big Uchi-mata for Ippon
James Martin (Camberley) Second Fight
I had not fought James before and it was a good fight. My confidence was up after the fight with Lucas and I beat James with Ippon.
Russel Parker (The Army) Semi-Final
Russel has started training at the centre after a few years out of the sport. It was a good fight but Russel countered two very weak attacks to beat me with two wazaris.
Mike Demiddele (Belgium) Bronze Fight
Mike is a very experienced fighter with a good record on Judo Inside. Great win for Bronze choking Mike within a minute.
