Moberly Stars at Venray International 2019

/in /by

Very proud of those that fought at the Venray International Tournament this weekend. With over 1500 competitors from over 25 nations it is a premier club event on the circuit. Many of these competitors go on to Junior European cup events and greater. For Omar and Dinari it represented a step up in competition level. For Omar it was also new weight category after a long injury lay off. After a first round defeat, he won his next 4 contests with superb transitional skills to win bronze in the u46k cadet. Dinari won through to the final with 4 excellent wins but was undone in the final after a dubious decision. A silver in the u55k was still a great result. Moberly’s final medal was actually the first one, won in the first category of the weekend by Emma in the u22k. It was a brave effort in an intimidating atmosphere but an experience never to be forgotten.
Excellent experiences for the rest of team of Myeisha, Oliver, Ali, Tyrese and Micheal.

Moberly Stars at English Minors and 61 Judo Club event

/in /by

Busy weekend for some of the Moberly Stars competing at the English Minors in Thetford on Saturday and also at the 61 Judo Club Green belt and below at High Wycombe on Sunday.
On Saturday, Luca won a fantastic gold medal in the u42k, coming back from a loss in his first contest to claim top spot. Kristians won a superb silver in the u46k after 4 hard fought contests. It was extremely unlucky for Parnell after 3 excellent wins, a loss in the quarter final put him out of the event due to the odd choice of knock out system. However, in the combined team event, he secured a gold medal for his team with a golden score victory in the deciding contest. Both Luca and Kristians won a bronze in the combined team with Ellis from Ealing.
On Sunday, Parnell won a gold in the u42k and Myeisha won gold at u44k in the orange and green section. There was an excellent silver medal win for Isabella in the u36k and hard fought bronze for Cian in the u42k red and yellow section. Just missing the medals were Eva, Mark and Kristians.

Moberly Stars at Northern Ireland 2019

/in /by

Big well done to Anna and Myeisha who both won gold in the Northern Ireland Open at the weekend. It was a first appearance for Anna in her new weight of u63k and her first Junior event too. For Myeisha it was also her first gold medal in the u44k Pre-Cadets, after silvers at the English Open and British schools Championships. It was a tough day for the Cadets as Dinari lost his bronze medal final after a disqualification in his quarter final. For Oliver after an earlier loss he had to unfortunately face Dinari in the repercharge.

Moberly Stars at Dublin and Ealing u8

/in /by

Well done to the Moberly Stars competing in events in Ireland and Ealing today.
Oliver had a great day in Dublin at the Irish Open winning gold in the u42k with 4 hard fought wins. While in Ealing the under 8s showed some equally great judo at the EJC Easter fun event. Some of the judo on display was quite exceptional and as an added bonus presenting the medals was GB Olympian Nekoda Davis who herself had her first experience in an event like this some years ago.
