I went to Peterborough u20's and fought in the u12's section. I won all three of my fights and won the gold medal with a good win against Sam Blair (Pinewood). I also fought in the over 12's in a tough group with squad members Tommy Ryan Hooper (Pinewood) and Keiren Davin (Willesden).

Tommy Ryan Hooper (First Fight):

Tommy is a very good tough sqaud fighter and hard to beat but i pulled off a hari-goshi to win with an ippon (10 points).

Keiran Davin (Second Fight):

I've never fought Keiran before but as i have watched him i have seen he is a very good fighter, at the start of the fight Keiran put in a very good attempt at left Drop-seonage and he threw me for an ippon (10 points) within 10 seconds.

Den Helder 2007

This was my second year at Den Helder. I like this competition as it is usually very hard. I won three of my five fights losing to Tim Kuipers on flags and in the final I lost to Tornike Tsjakadoea who is a really good fast fighter. They have daft ways of running their competition here. If you lose in the final you have to fight the winner of the repecharge for the silver medal.

I had a good time again . We were with the Parks lot and got off the coach at McDonalds after the weigh-in. My dad was racing Duncan to get in first and ran through a window. There was blood everywhere.
