Players associated with the club put on a great performance at Sunday’s Hampshire Closed.

Ania Cardamas in the girl’s u36kg category delivered a silver medal winning performance. In a pool of 4., she beat her first opponent, holding for ippon, then scored a dominant performance, winning by 4 yukos, over her second opponent. She lost to the eventual gold medallist, being thrown for ippon with tsuri goshi.

Azamat Iiyassov, who also trains at Priory JC, competed in the men’s u90 2nd kyu and under category. In a similiar size group as Ania, all players ended up equal with 2 wins and 2 losses. Aza was deemed to be the winner by virtue of the fastest ippon score.

Both players are now eligible for selection for Hampshire team to compete in the forthcoming Southern Area team tournament.

Congratulations to both players!
