October 2011 - New National Junior Gold Medallist!  - a special report

Report by Glen Judd - 3rd Dan Judo Coach at WJAMAC.

Winchester Judo and Martial Arts Club junior judo player Annie Boby aged 11 won gold at the National under 12 Championships held in Nottingham.

Fighting in the u40kg group Annie brilliantly fought her way into the final to face an opponent who had beaten her in the pool stages earlier in the day.  This time the Winchester Judo Clubs starlet reversed the result by holding her opponent down in the last few seconds of the contest.

Annie becomes the Lido based clubs, first National Junior medallist for nearly 35 years to join a very elite group.

Annie's coach Glen Judd said ‘Annie’s has been targeting the Nationals all year and has put in loads of hard work to become National Champion, everyone at the club is so proud of her achievements’

Special Player Profile

Lee Harley

Lee Harley aged 14, has unfortunately had to give up practicing judo due to ill health. Lee who has been diagnosed with a rare blood disorder has been told by his specialist to give up all contact sports.  Lee has been a club member for around 4 years, and had just won his first ever medal – silver in the Salisbury Open, and was looking forward to achieving his green belt in the coming year.

Coach Glen Judd said although Lee is only small in stature, he is a tenacious and skilful player who rarely missed a lesson - a pleasure to teach.

The club wish Lee all the best in the future and look forward to the odd visit so Lee can keep an eye on his old club mates.
