Micklefield 8 & Under Training Randori

Well, what a day!  The Renrukan took 8 players to Micklefield for the 8 & under training randori event.

And what a day it turned out to be, taking 3 GOLD, 2 SILVER  3 BRONZE.  On top of all that, we took the spirit of judo award and style of judo award.

As a coach of the Renrukan it makes me rather proud to be in the company of my players that achieve these results.

More rewarding is that 2 of the players were attending their very first competition and their first steps outside the club dojo. Both took GOLD medals. (Ella and Edward)

All 8 players took medals from bronze to gold, from fighting.  There were no participation medals, all on performance, many players did not receive. From a very large turn out from around the county.
