Easter break brings first medals of 2023

Posted on April 20, 2023

The Easter break was bookended by excellent competition results.

Chloe Lymer regained her Hampshire title at the Hampshire Closed held in Eastleigh at the beginning of the holiday. Three straight wins saw her comfortably secure the gold medal.

Chloe has upped her training regime, and is now also training at the renowned Camberley Judo Club.

Connor McCormack and Harry Webb made their competition debuts at the red and yellow belt event organised by Holbrook Judo Club. Connor came within a hair’s breadth of securing gold, but eventually had to settle for silver. Harry Webb secured a well deserved bronze medal.

Well done everyone!

Medal success marks return to competition

Posted on April 8, 2022

Court Lane Judo Club returned to competition after a long hiatus due to the Covid pandemic, when three players entered the 2022 Hampshire Closed.

Lewis Hook secured gold in his category, winning all his fights with ippon.

Chloe Lymer fought in a group where three three different weight groups were combined, securing a silver medal.

Michael Churcher made his full senior debut, and had seven excellent contests. Michael beat some higher graded players and was unlucky to just miss out on a medal.

Well done everyone!

Thanks also to the players who made the effort to come along and support – it was greatly appreciated.
