Spitfire Open Judo Competition.

Members of the Young Judo Club travelled to Capel-Lene-Ferne for the Folkestone 
open judo championships. This event was well supported by both juniors and 
seniors and proved to be a great first judo event for some of the clubs novice 
players. In particular Keith Brown and Mark Salter excelled themselves by 
beating a black belt with a strangle in their fights. Both of them train in MMA

with John on a Wednesday night and have only had a couple of judo lessons.
They proved that determination can overcome inexperience. Junior head coach Keith 

Costa was very impressed with all of the juniors who attended, especially as for 

some of them it was their first experience of competition. Dylan White won silver 

and showed he really enjoyed the day with a constant smile throughout. Lewis Clarke 

won the over 45kg group by beating a player 35kg heavier than himself.
