Bronze for Jack at Hampshire Open

Jack Rogerson added to his burgeoning medal collection with another determined performance at today’s Hampshire Open.

Fighting at -38kg, Jack was one of nine players, split into two pools. He started strongly against an Osaka player, but was thrown for ippon when he was caught off-balance by a strong counter attack.

He bounced back to score three consecutive ippons, transitioning smoothly from tachiwaza to newaza in each case.  Jack finished 2nd in his pool and moved into the knockout stage, to face the winner of the other pool.

This was a tough match against a player from Summit. Jack did well to block two strong uchimata attacks before being caught for waza-ari with tai-otoshi. Jack was fighting his way back into contention when he was caught for ippon with uchimata, to finish in bronze medal position.

Marcus followed up strong performances at the Hampshire Closed and Hampshire and Isle Of Wight Games, with a medal winning performance at today’s Hampshire Open.

Competing in the lightest, -27kg, weight category, Marcus benefitted from a bye in the first round, and followed up with a win by penalties in the second.

This put him into the semifinal, with his opponent withdrawing injured partway through the match.

In the final, Marcus’ opponent took advantage of a moment’s hesitation to secure a strong hold down and secure the win.
