Chloe Lymer maintained her run of success when she joined Holbrook Judo Club at a recent event run by Southampton Samurai judo club.
Three wins in ne-waza secured Chloe a well deserved gold medal. Even more impressive as Chloe doesn’t usually like groundwork.
Chloe will be competing this weekend along side Michael Churcher, at the Sussex Precadet and Cadet open
It may have been half term, but Court Lane players have been putting the miles in on the competition circuit.
Chloe Lymer and Michael Churcher both competed in this well attended event.
Chloe added another bronze to her collection, scoring from her favourite throw tai-otoshi and also winning a contest in ne-waza; an area of judo that Chloe has been working hard to improve, so a great result all round.
Chloe’s medal was presented by 9th Dan Dave Starbrook MBE OLY, who won Britain’s first Olympic Judo medals in 1972 and 1976. Starbrook had delivered a masterclass and coaching workshop to Hampshire players the day before.
Mike was also in action, contesting the senior weight groups. Mike gave a good account of himself in a category dominated by 1st kyu and Dan grade players, but was unable to progress to the medal stages on this occasion.
As part of his build up to the National Championships, Mike competed in yesterday’s Welsh Open. This was as a bench marking exercise to identify the level of competition and areas where Mike needs to improve prior to entering the Nationals.
First of all, congratulations to club coach Craig Jones, who completed today’s Great South Run in a time of 1 hour 40 minutes 23 seconds, beating his own target time.
Craig was raising funds for the Rowans Hospice, he can still be sponsored via his JustGiving page.

Congratulations to all our winners.
Michael Churcher added another senior medal to his growing collection with a silver medal at the NHC Kyu Grade Open at High Wycombe on Sunday 13 October.
This is part of Mike’s build up to the national championships at the end of November, beginning of December. Along the way he will compete in the Hampshire Open, and Cadet championships in Southern Area and Wales.
Before that he is competing alongside Chloe Lymer in this weekend’s regional schools qualifier in Kent. Good luck to you both!
The Hampshire Judo organised event on Sunday 7 July saw Court Lane players medal in all three categories.
Jonty Bassil finally secured his first gold medal in the men’s 1st kyu and above competition. Three fine ippons also saw him pick up 30 points towards his Dan grade.
Brother and sister Ben and Chloe Lymer both fought in the junior red & yellow belt competition. This was Ben’s first event, and he did well to hold his own in a surprisingly aggressive group. Chloe battled back from a loss in her first fight to collect a silver medal like her brother.
Michael Churcher continued his transition across to adult judo competing in the men’s blue and under competition. He beat off a strong challenge from a Scorpion player, throwing and holding for a cumulative score. Osaka’s Harrison Grist was once again Mike’s nemesis, leaving Mike in a well deserved 2nd place.
Well done everyone.
Once again we made our annual appearance at the school summer fair. With ALL displays being programmed indoors this year, we opted for a smaller mat and a reduced number of players compared to previous years.
A brilliant, slightly ad libbed demo was provided by Kev Jones, Chloe Lymer, Maya and Mieszko Polak and Amy Roberts.
Chloe, Maya and Amy also demonstrated some of the self defence movements from Goshin-Jitsu, with Tony as uke.
We’d also like to say thank you to current and previous club members who watched, and helped to put down and put away mats – Toby Winfield, Ben Lymer and Sophie Rogerson.
Michael Churcher was our sole representative at this years’ Kent International.
Making his debut at his new weight of -73kg (and only by a few grams…), Michael showed that all his recent hard work has been paying off, returning with a bronze medal.
1 day, 2 players, 3 medals….
Michael Churcher made his senior debut today in the South Coast Senior Blue & Under competition.
After picking up a silver medal in his own weight, Michael then competed in an open weight event, adding a bronze medal to his tally.
Chloe Lymer competed in the South Coast Yellow & Under competition, winning a well deserved bronze medal with a confident performance of attacking judo.
Hampshire Judo enjoyed a successful at the Intercounty tournament on Sunday.
Chloe and Michael were in the thick of the action, Chloe scoring two excellent wins to help the girls’ team to a well deserved place. Michael and the boys came in third.
Full results can be found on the Hampshire Judo Facebook page.
Players who train at the Club enjoyed a great day of Judo at Saturday’s Hampshire Closed.
Chloe Lymer was the first to fight, at -32kg. She was narrowly defeated in her first contest, but stormed back with an ippon scoring seoi nage in her next contest. A win in her third contest put her into top spot in her group of 4 and secured her a GOLD medal.
Jack Rogerson made his first judo outing in a couple of years. Jack fought his way out of his pool in 2nd place to enter the knock out stages, with some great ippon scores from both tachi waza and ne waza. In the final four, Jack was thrown for ippon and had to settle for bronze at -46kg.
Our last contestant was Michael Churcher, at -66kg. Michael made an emphatic start, throwing his first opponent for ippon. He followed this up with another two great maximum scoring throws to set up a deciding contest against Osaka’s Harrison Grist. Mike defeated Grist in last year’s tournament, but it was Grist’s turn to dominate this year, leaving Mike to settle for a well deserved silver.
Coaches and players from the Club also participated in the training session held with the visiting players from Jersey, to round off a memorable weekend of Judo.
Players from Court Lane Judo Club have made an exciting start to the year, with three medals from three competitions, across the whole spectrum of experience.
Michael Churcher claimed a bronze medal from the South Coast Green Belt & Under in January.
John Luijken followed this up with a bronze medal at the Surrey Red & Yellow Belt Open, in Reigate, at the beginning of February.
Club coach Craig Jones was also in action, competing at the South Coast Senior Open, where he claimed a third bronze medal for the club.
