New friends made in French twinning events
Coaches and players from Court Lane have participated in recent twinning events with French judo clubs.
In May, Tony, Kev, Craig and Dean (and Brett’s mum!) along with representatives of Holbrook Judo Club, travelled to Royan in the Bordeaux region, for a weekend of Judo, sightseeing and socialising.
We look forward to them visiting us next year.
At the beginning of June, members of Le Havre’s Judo Perrey Guerrier visited the Portsmouth area and were hosted by Holbrook Judo Club.
Members of Portsmouth area judo clubs were invited to join with a training session and friendly competition with the visitors.
Tony, Jonty, Mieszko and Maya represented the club during the morning training session, with Jonty taking part in the afternoon competition.
Hopefully we can visit JPG next year.

Hampshire junior squad sessions
Boys team 2005 Intercounties
The following dates have been booked for the first Hampshire squad sessions:
- Friday 17th June
- Friday 15th July
Both dates are 19.30 – 21.00 Gym No 1 Brune Park School, Military Road, Gosport, Hampshire PO12 4AU
Coaches are invited to attend with their players and a Guest coach will be announced when confirmed.
It is hoped that once established there will be input from a number of coaches at each session, plus input from refereeing staff and possibly even some content for parents (table officials & volunteering for example).
Please advise me if you are attending so we know the mat area required.
Please remember it will require support if we are going to get things moving, come on Hampshire !
Update on Le Havre visit
Following on from our previous post concerning Saturday’s event:
- The Café at Brune Park will NOT be open during the day.
- There is an evening reception, being held at Fleetlands Football Club. This will involve an American supper – make a contribution and share! Please can you advise Paul Vella what you will be bringing along.
- Medals from the afternoon competition may need to be presented at the evening session due to time restraints during the day.
Tony appointed as joint junior squad manager for Hampshire Judo
Club coach Tony Brown has been appointed with Holbrooke’s Paul Vella to jointly manage the Hampshire junior squad. The decision was announced at the recent Hampshire AGM.
Tony has previously supported Hampshire Judo in a PR role, helping to set up the website and Facebook pages, as well as securing much local press coverage.
Both Tony and Paul are keen to return Hampshire junior judo to the level of success it enjoyed in the early 2000s – both Tony and Paul were involved in this, working with other coaches to lead busy Hampshire sessions and totally dominate the Southern Area intercounties tournament.
2002 Intercounties Champions
Many of the players involved during this time went on to secure GB representation – Brett Caswell, Andy Gould, Joph Spencer, Ben Garside, Vince Skillcorn, Craig Tullett, Sarah Patterson Sam Potts, Lewis Dolman, Lisa Stevens…
Initial training dates have been set and will be announced shortly. These are open to ALL players, not just County medallists.
