Junior Gradings

September 26, 2008

Well done to Kirsty and Thea on being graded up to 3rd mon in superb style, faultless exhibition.  They were novice to 3rd mon in one grade which is allowed as fast track because of their age.  The new technical grading system really does work when players, such as Kirsty and Thea, really put the effort into their judo.

Well done girls you made me feel very proud.  Keep it up.

Another great day for the RENRUKAN.

We took 12 players to the Micklefield red belt rumble at High Wycombe Judo Centre.  This was a good competition for players competing for the first time; by no means and easy feeling.
Well done to all who took part.  I was very pleased.  We had some excellent results, taking 2 Gold Medals, 3 Silvers and 1 Bronze.

Our team players were:

  • REECE CROFT
  • MIKIE GIBSON
  • DANIEL BARTLETT
  • KIERAN HALS
  • NATHAN CROFT
  • MARC BALDWIN
  • BRANDON ALLEN – GOLD
  • THOMAS TAYLOR – GOLD
  • KEELY McLEOD – SILVER
  • KIRSTY ROONEY – SILVER
  • DANIEL TAYLOR – SILVER

WELL DONE to all another very successful day for the RENRUKAN.  I’m very proud of all who took part.
