Jack Rogerson was our sole representative at the South Coast Junior Green Belt & Under tournament held in Worthing on 22 January.
Like Azhar last year, he found this a tough competition, and despite a valiant performance, was out fought by more experienced competitors from clubs such as Moberley and Osaka.
Dates have been announced for next Hampshire squad sessions.
In line with the policy of rotating sessions around the County to build interest and encourage participation, these sessions will be held in the north of the county (previous sessions have been in the south (Gosport) and central/west (Eastleigh)).
Sessions will be hosted by Osaka Judo Club, at their dojo in Aldershot:
