14th/15th May 2022 – Medal Success for National Squad in Holland

Another great trip to Holland, this year it was the 25th International Houvast Judo Tournament in Mierlo. The standard of judo was higher than ever, with a spectacular display of judo across all ages and weights.
The weekend of Judo started great for the Association with Kayla Blunden taking the Bronze in impressive style in girls under 40kg event. We then had to wait until day 2 for the second trophy of the event, which was won Megan Skillen in the Ladies under 78kg class.

From the other players we saw some great Judo, grit and determination, with a good number just missing out on the 3rd place Bronze positions.

All players and coaches can use this event as a great learning experience for their future development in the sport.
