Outstanding judo in Sheffield at British Championships
December 02, 2018
After a stellar first day in Sheffield, the 2018 Pre-Cadet and Cadet British Championships finished with another terrific display of judo on Sunday 2 December at EIS Sheffield.
Today was the turn of the Pre-Cadet Boys and Cadet Girls and once again, a number of judoka impressed.
Bradley Stoke Judo Club had a memorable day with three gold medals for Tatum Keen (-52kg), Leah Grosvenor (-57kg) and Ben Moore (-55kg).
Keen, who attended the 2018 GB Futures Camp in Japan earlier this month, won all of contests by ippon, including a six second win in the semi-final.
At -44kg Mae Bostock (Gateshead) was similarly impressive, winning three of her four contests by ippon.
There was an all-Moberly Stars final in the -42kg final with Oliver Almond getting the better of his teammate Ali Bougoffa in an epic golden score contest.
At -70kg Simone Cross was another standout gold medallist. The Bishop’s Stortford judoka won her first two contests inside the opening minute before getting the better of Daisy Gilroy (Sportif) in the final.
