Could you become a Court Lane Judo Club legend?

Court Lane Judo Club historically has a proud competition record, with numerous medallists at County level, as well as county, national and international success – including a Commonwealth gold medallist and IJF world tour appearances.

We’d love to see a strong club presence again at the Hampshire Championships – the entry form is available now at the Southern Area Judo website. Results at the County Championships and attendance at Hampshire squad will be used to determine selection for the Hampshire team at the Southern Area team tournament on 10 May – the club has provided many players for this event in the past – Brett Caswell, Andy Gould, Lewis Dolman, Isla Savellis-Fry and Chloe Lymer to name a few.

The Southern Area Judo calendar is your go to resource for events in Hampshire, Sussex, Surrey and Kent. For details of events across the country as a whole, check out the calendar on the British Judo calendar.
