Josh Shipp, Adam Vosper, Max Gregory and Cordelia Gregory were selected for the cadets and.Tom Ingram, Adam Whitfield and Lewis Widdicombe for the juniors.
The players have been selected because of their impressive results nationally, internationally and their ranking on the Ippon League during 2017. Max Gregory won gold at the nationals and the School Games while sister Cordelia won bronze. Tom Ingram, Lewis Widdicombe and Adam Vosper all placed fifth at the Nationals.
South Brent Judo Club are one of only two judo clubs in the country to have seven or more players on the England programme – not bad for a village club!
This is down to Gary, Pete and Steve’s inspirational training regime which mixes excellent technical coaching with lots of fun.
The coaches and parents are extremely proud of all the judoka.
