JUDO NSW COMMUNITY SERIES #4 – 13NOV22

Congratulations to all 48 Budokan athletes who entered the last NSW competition for the year. Special congratulations to those athletes who stepped up to the competition stage for the very first time. The benefit of this series of events is that divisions are split not only by age and weight but also by experience levels. Our athletes competed in 53 divisions with a number of athletes entering multiple age categories, the highest number of matches played was 10 by Flynn who competed in 3 age categories. A few athletes had 6 or more matches. A long day from 8.00am to nearly 6.00pm but great experience for everyone. Thanks to all the club coaches: Rob, Kerrye, Dale, Cathy, Liam, and Jarrad who ran the Mons warmup for all competitors. 232 medals were awarded on the day, 89 of them Gold and Budokan won nearly 18% of both total medals awarded and Gold medals, a great result.
