I have gained some more points for my National Cadet ranking. 

 

NHC Open - Harlow, 08 February 2014

 



Midland Area Age Band (Under 21) Championships - Walsall, 1 February 2014

This is another in a series of National ranking competitions so gold is very much appreciated!

2014 Matsuru Dutch Open Espoir - Eindhoven, 11 January 2014

The new season is on!
The first, quite strong competition abroad this year. A lot of players from Holland, Belgium, Germany and France were fighting for their ranking points. I managed to win all fights by ippon and get to the final. Unlucky in the final with the French opponent.

2013 British Championships(Juniors -44) - Sheffield, 14 December 2013

I am very happy to finish this year with two gold medals in both Cadet and Junior National Championships. This is the end of the calendar year but the beginning of the new season, so after two weeks of Christmas break I will be training hard again... aiming for some more good results.   

2013 British Championships(Cadets, -40) - Sheffield, 08 December 2013

Flanders Judo Cup - 26 October 2013 (-44 and -40) , Lommel, Belgium

I fought in both -40s and -44s because there was only one person in my weight. This allowed me to gain some experience as I fought people who were bigger than me so I had to adapt a different style of fighting. Even though they were heavier, I won the silver medal only losing to the eventual gold medalist.

XV Warsaw Judo Open 2013, 28 September 2013

This was a very well organised tournament with a lot of good European players. I managed to get on the podium with the bronze medal but I was not completely satisfied with my performance. I won against the gold medallist but then lost the fight leading to the final even though I was ahead with a wazari score.

Heart of England Championships,7 September 2013

There were no competitors in my weight category so I fought in -44kg; with a ‘gold’ result I am now looking forward to the GB Championships.

London Open ,13 July 2013

The London open allowed me to fight new people from a higher weight category because there were no competitors in my weight. I didn’t mind fighting a weight group up because I gained some experience. I won all the fights by ippon.

 

National Team Championships (LONDON) - Walsall, 06 July 2013

I really enjoy the team championships as the atmosphere is welcoming as everyone stays as a team and cheers for each other. Even though the team got a bronze medal, losing to the eventual gold medal winners; I won every fight gaining a full set of points for the team.

Kent International Open 2013 - 29 June 2013

The Kent International was a very good competition for me to attend, not only because it is local but because everyone in my weight was foreign. This was very good because it allowed me to fight new competitors that I haven’t fought before. I won every fight attaining the gold medal.

 

European Championship Cadets 2013, Tallinn, Estonia, 21 June 2013

I was very proud to be selected to represent Great Britain in the European Championships. Even though I lost my first fight, it was a great experience to go and compete. No medal this time but I will train hard and hopefully get another chance next year!

 

Great Britain Team in Tallinn

European Cup Cadets Bielsko-Biała, Poland, 18 May 2013

This was the last European cup of the year. I travelled to this competition with my club as the England squad didn’t go. Again I managed to get into the semi-final after winning my pool. The fight was very close; unfortunately I lost by a shido. I enjoyed my first year competing in Europe and being a part of the England team.

European Cadets Cup in Teplice ,Czech Republic, 20 April 2013

It was great to be able to compete in Europe again with girls from different countries. Every fighter has a different style; this shows you that judo doesn’t have its limits and there is so much to learn. I managed to achieve a bronze medal winning three fights by ippon. This is a good step forward from the last two European cups where I got 5^th place.
