International Championships U15 in Lodz/Poland - 28 May 2011

It was a great opportunity to be able to take part in this international competition, in which eight European countries competed (Poland, Great Britain, Lithuania,Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Czech Republic and Slovakia.) This competition was well attended and mostly consisted of players from the national squad of their country. This was also a ranking competition for all Polish players u15 and u20. I travelled in a team with thirteen other players from the England squad. My fights were fairly hard since the players were very skilled and showed a different style of judo, more physical and rough. Therefore I am even more satisfied with winning the gold.

Ipswich Junior Age Banded Championships - 8 May 2011

Ipswich was another good standard competition. I was pleased with my performance since I got a gold medal.

BJC Junior Nationals, Hereford - 01 May 2011

This competition was my fifth BJC Nationals. I won gold so this means I keep my BJC National title for the fifth year running. As well as winning gold I also recieved a special trophy. In my oppinion this competition was fairly hard, all the fighters were good and determined but I still managed to win all the fights. Taking part in a BJC competition gave me an interesting experience since the BJC rules are very different to BJA. This kept me focused throughout my fights.
