Remember this teaser from Paul a few weeks ago:
"So far we have 12 people entered for the A Band Nationals (10-11 years). This makes Westcroft by far the most represented club (no other club has more than 6 entries and that includes Samurai, the organising club). There is still some time to go for more entries, but it does show a good turn out by Westcroft Judo Club. My guess is we will take six medals from it looking at the names entered. That'll put some pressure on!"

OK now for our results..!

Westcroft were the most successful club in the country in taking three Golds. No other club
took three. In fact, only one other club took two Golds. Other Surrey club results: Croydon took one bronze, Pyrford took one silver and one bronze (same group), Yoshin-Ryu took one bronze.

Paul Cummings was awarded his green belt (3rd Kyu in the new grading system).

On 17 May Mike Sexton attended the High Wycombe Masters tournament. Mike won bronze in the U81kg 35-39 Age Group and a bronze in the U81kg open age group (35+) against a strong field from the British Masters squad. In addition Mike secured a further 30 points towards his 4th dan, and now has 65 points out of the necessary 100. Mike had nine fights on the day, winning six fights (5 ippons :left uchi mata, right sasae, right ko uchi makikomi, waki gatami, right yoko otoshi, and 1 yuko : sumi gaeshi), drew one, and lost by koka in the other two. On the back of this performance, Mike will be competing for New Zealand at the World Masters Tournament in Brussels on 24-29 June 2008.
 

As soon as we get the images sorted they will be posted.

Westcroft Judo Club returned to the International "Grand Prix du Casier" Tournament of Marcinelle, Belgium

The club took 28 players plus parents, to the tournament which took place on 24 May 2008. Clubs from Belgium, France, Netherlands, Germany and Great Britain were in attendance. Coaches Michael Sexton, Rachelle Sexton, were delighted with the performance of all the players. The tournament is held in memory of the mining disaster at Marcinelle in 1956.

As we only numbered 28 competitors instead of the 75 that competed last year, we all knew we wouldn't win the Marcinelle Club Cup. As the day drew to a close, Mike had a word with the match official to see if we could leave promptly as soon as we had finished our last contest. As we started to load the coach, Mike came back to tell us that the official had told him  "this would not be possible and we must stay until the end." when we asked why..! A big grin came over Mike's face as he explained that we had once again won the Marcinelle Club Cup. So here are the results of our fantastic Westcroft Judo Club competitors..!

 Venimus, Vidimus, Vicimus - We came, we saw, we conquered.
