Shoalhaven Heads Open 6/4/2014
We had a great day, with 12 Yuukan members who travelled and competed at the Shoalhaven Open, which was a state selection for the 2014 Nationals, it was even greater when we all only had to travel home from Bomaderry (we all got an early night).
Unfortunately many of our members only had one fight but that didn't stop them from showing great technique and sportsmanship.
It was also nice to see the "more experienced" helping out with reading draws, encouragement on the mat and sitting with the newer ones so that they were able to feel comfortable and not have to worry that they were in the wrong place or that they were unsure of what to do as they always had someone to ask. (that is worth more than a medal to a coach as it shows respect and great leadership skills, thank you, it shows great responsibility and keeps us all working together.
The results were just as great with members competing in all divisions.
In Mons we had Eva G (Gold), Katie (3rd), Jennifer (3rd) and Rose (Silver)
In Junior Girls/Boys we had Amelie (Gold), Pia (Gold), Emily (Silver) and Jessica (2nd)
In Senior Girls/Boys we had Loui (5th) and Paris (4th)
In Cadets we had Michael (Silver)
In Junior men we had Blake (2xGold)
Well done to all our members and below are some great photos with your medals.
