The competition was for players under 16 and each team could not to exceed 100kgs.
All our players showed great courage against all the teams in each of their pools; many of whom were at the top end of their weight allowance and also older.
Although our boys teams did not gain medals on this occasion, they have gained more experience.Well done.
The girls, Renrukan LIONESSES also in the same format, giving away not only age but huge height and weight difference,fought out of their skins. They had to dig deep to win against their opposite players from the other 5 teams in their pool.
But their sheer guts and courage showed through and they took a brilliant SILVER, only missing a gold by 3 points on a count back tally.
A long day but a great team effort by all ,keep it up.
