Polkyth Judo Club is based in Polkyth Leisure Centre, St Austell, Cornwall.
Head Coach Ronan Byrne said that he was "overjoyed with the huge success achieved" by his players at the Kent International Judo Championships, held at Crystal Palace on the 23rd June 2007.
Ronan said "I was extremely proud with the courage, conviction and fighting spirit in which they fought". It was extra special as it was the childrens first International Competition.
Danny Byrne won every contest to win a Golg Medal in the "Under 50kg" category. Jamie Grigg also took a Gold Medal in the "Under 55kg" category.
Nathan Fitzgerald gained a Silver in the "Under 34kg", while Edward Tse also gained a Silver in the "Under 42kg".
Kimberley Holness gained a Bronze Medal in the girls "Under 40kg" event.
Mason Rescorla, Andrew Palmer, Jade Skews and Henry Stittle also fought extrmely well with Henry Stittle winning 5 out of his 6 contests with "Ippon" the maximum 10 point score, only narrowly losing in the semi-final.
Ronan would like to take this opportunity to thank the coaching staff, Kylie, Frank & Neal, the Parents and Polkyth staff for all their help & support. Finally, and most importantly, Ronan would like to thank the children for all their hard work, dedication and loyalty to the Polkyth Judo Club.
