Boglestone Judo Club<br />
Taking part in their first competitions the<br />
Junior section of Boglestone Judo Club came<br />
away with fantastic results. This group of<br />
junior players have been training hard for the<br />
past year under the watchful eye of coaches<br />
Robert Sharp, James Turner and Jorge<br />
Cruz. The Junior players entered the red<br />
belt competitions at the Tryst sports Centre<br />
in Cumbernauld and did themselves and the<br />
club proud.<br />
The competitions are different from the club<br />
scene, the red belt rumbles are the first entry<br />
level competitions for 8 to 13 year olds who<br />
have just been recently graded, entering these competitions allows them to show the<br />
skills they have learned in the club training sessions and put them to practice in a<br />
competitive environment. The Boglestone juniors did well with medals for Luke Wolfend<br />
Bronze, Gary Thomas Bronze, Ben Tidswell Bronze and a Silver for Dylan Tolan.<br />
The best result was still to come with Harry Vine winning 2 Silver medals at the Saltire<br />
Judo Competition, winning silver in his own group he was then invited to fight in an open<br />
category where he won another silver medal.<br />
Boglestone junior players train on a Wednesday night from 7pm to 8pm at Boglestone<br />
Community Centre. A few places are still available if you are interested in coming along<br />
on a Wednesday, first taster session is free.
