Anna and Amel claimed further golds in the u44k and u48k respectively, While Mariam had to fight hard to secure the silver in the u57k.

The Orange and Green belt section proved to be a very difficult event with the strong Dutch and Belgian teams in the mix.

Kamal showed great fighting spirit to progress to the final on the u30k. Omar was extremely unlucky in his semi final contest against his Belgian opponent and had to settle for a bronze. Kamal lost out to the same Belgian in the final but was chuffed with his silver medal. Michael was in tremendous form in the u60k. His speed and skill were too much for his opponents as he claimed yet another gold medal.

 

The final medal was won by Max in the Blue and Brown belt section in the u42k. Max was very impressive with his new technical skills but had to settle for a bronze on points.

Great experience for the remainder of the team, Dinari, Daniel, Luan, Nelson, David , Michael, Ben and Ethan.

/in /by

A mixed day for the Moberly Stars at the NHC pre-cadet and cadet ranking event at Harlow today, 3 golds and 1 silver was a very good return for the squad.

Both Anna and Mariam showed the result of hard training with eye catching performances against more experienced competitors.  Anna’s vastly superior newaza skills and Mariam’s excellent counter attacking judo proved enough to win  Golds in the u44k and u57k respectively.

Max was professional as always to claim the u42k Gold  while Lucy was frustrated by a disqualification in the final of the u63k despite dominating the contest with her improving fighting abilities.

It was a frustrating day for brothers, David and Michael Osher, and Michael Mensah all of whom had to move up to heavier categories and missed out on the medals. Mohud also picked up further experience from another high level event.
