KATE WINS BRITISH MEDAL
Kate Chisholm, one of our Spanish/British members, just age 14, in her first year of cadets at British Judo level, took a Bronze medal u48kg at the recent British Championships in Sheffield, English Institute of Sport. After just two competitions to get used to the new weight and age group, post covid, she narrowly missed out on a place in the final, but made the bronze medal match her own.

Welsh Open Cadets
6 days after returning from Sweden, Ace Edwards and Kate Chisholm both fought for a place on the podium in Cardiff at the Welsh Open ranking event. Both in the same category, but Kate a first year cadet and Ace third year, they had some good fights, with one of Kates going into golden score for 8 further minutes. That took her into the final, where she had to settle for Silver. Ace came back in the repercharge winning all fights to take the Bronze. A good experience again for both players, and some ranking points ready for the British Open in December.

ENGLISH CLOSED CHAMPIONSHIPS
We have an English Champion to start the year off,after such a long awaited 18 months of Covid restrictions. Ace Edwards, took the Gold in the u48kg female cadets. This was the first time Ace haS fought at this weight, this age group and this level of competition. Ace has worked so hard over Covid. Her training, although hard at times, never stopped. So proud of this young lady.
From the result she has now been selected to join the ETD (England talent development) Squad for England Judo. The hard work starts here, but we have every confidence she will do her best to succeed.
