Golden Girls

Well done to all five of the Tonbridge Judo Club fighters who attended the recent 2009 Clacton Championships and came away with a medal each despite fierce competition from top clubs from around the UK.

Lara Huxley (9) and Scarlett England (12) had a particularly good day and both won gold in their groups. Lara was fighting at –26kg and won all four of her fights with the highest possible score while Scarlett put in a very strong performance in the –52kg category.

There was also some great judo from Tommy Chambers, aged 11 (-34kg), Dominic Morton, aged 12, (-38kg) and George Cullum, aged 13, (-38kg) who all won bronze medals.

Special thanks must go to TJC coaches Colin Eldridge and Andy Morton.
