On Sunday Blake and Steven, Luke and Danyon, Riley and James and Anthony and Jordan all competed in the junior nage no kata. Due to Molly hurting her knee her and Micheal pulled out on the day so that Molly could rest her knee for a few more days until she competed..
Kata was amazing to watch and just made it even more fantastic to watch with the kids coming together and remembering what Alan and Ernie had shown them.
Blake had some issues being the uke for Steven as he was so sore from competing the day before and he was finding it difficult break falling and gettng up.
Blake has put his request in for next year if they compete the day before that he wants to be tori..haha
The other South Coast players did great kata with Anthony and Jordan who took out the gold medal, Luke and Danyon who stood next to them for the silver and Riley and James who looked so cute going over the routine and surprising us all with how well they did when they stood up on the podium to recieve the bronze medal..
