Chloe Lymer and Michael Churcher have been busy on the competition trail again.
Both Michael and Chloe competed in the South Coast Pre Cadet and Cadet Open.
This provided a tough challenge for Chloe, against some very aggressive competitors. Chloe scored a fantastic win against one of her Hampshire rivals, but, at the end of the pool, results were level between three of the four competitors.
Consequently, Chloe had to refight two of her three matches, to determine 2nd, 3rd and 4th place. This time Chloe delivered an even more emphatic victory (16 seconds) to secure a well deserved 3rd place.
Disappointingly Michael wasn’t given the same chance to shine, with a much smaller entry in his category than we were expecting. However, you can only fight who is put in front of you, and Michael returned with another silver medal to add to his growing collection.
Chloe then travelled to High Wycombe to compete in the NHC qualifier for the British Schools. An on fire Chloe swept her way to victory, defeating both an orange belt and a green belt (two whole belts higher!) on her way to a gold medal.
First of all, congratulations to club coach Craig Jones, who completed today’s Great South Run in a time of 1 hour 40 minutes 23 seconds, beating his own target time.
Craig was raising funds for the Rowans Hospice, he can still be sponsored via his JustGiving page.

Finally, Michael Churcher and Chloe Lymer competed in Kent on Saturday, at the regional schools championships. Both players finished in third place in their respective categories.
Congratulations to all our winners.
Michael Churcher added another senior medal to his growing collection with a silver medal at the NHC Kyu Grade Open at High Wycombe on Sunday 13 October.
This is part of Mike’s build up to the national championships at the end of November, beginning of December. Along the way he will compete in the Hampshire Open, and Cadet championships in Southern Area and Wales.
Before that he is competing alongside Chloe Lymer in this weekend’s regional schools qualifier in Kent. Good luck to you both!
