NSW Junior Men/Women and Senior Men/Women state competition. (3rd Feb)
First competition for 2013 and Blake was still in holiday mode. He has just gone up a weight division to Under 66kg and is on the lower end of the weight division.
He only had one fight in the junior men and unfortunately was thrown by a beautiful ippon (he did an awesome breakfall).
He then fought in Senior men where there were 2 pools. He won his first 2 fights with ippons and his last one because his opponent was disqualified, he got GOLD.
It was a good way to start the year as Blake has spent many days lazing down the beach and hanging out with friends, it was the first time since he was little that we saw a few nerves as he knew that many of the others players had trained over the same period and he had never competed against any of these competition before. Congratulations Blake and good luck for 2013
