Busy weekends bring more success for Chloe and Michael

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.

Court Lane judoka medal at South Coast Open

Isla continued to impress with her transition into more adult judo, winning a bronze medal at the South Coast Minors, Pre-Cadet and Cadet Open on 18 November.

Isla – who is still only a yellow belt – fought two blue belts in her own weight, including a great win by waza-ari awasete ippon, as well as taking on a brown belt from the next weight category.

Other players in action included regular Club visitors Michael Churcher and Chloe Lymer, who both returned with bronze medals.

Well done everyone, keep up all the hard work.
