YJC win Multi Nation Medals in Scotland

Members of the Young Judo Club Sittingbourne took part in the International Budo Federation’s Multi Nation Judo Championships, which was this year held in Dumfries , Scotland . Competing countries were England , Scotland , Belgium , Germany , Poland , Italy and Holland ; the club returned with 3 Gold’s, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze.

Ben Franks had to make do with a bronze in the match to make the finals he lost on a rather dubious penalty point against a Polish boy, what was more annoying is that the Nottingham boy who won the event Ben beat in under a minute for an Ippon a few weeks ago in the YJC 50^th.

Ashley Costa won silver in the Men’s u74 kilo class in the final he met his boggy man Karsten Burden who caught him with an Ippon leg grab.

James Mazzetti won Gold but was closed to being disqualified from the competition, he applied a head lock in the final fight and was disqualified but the referees decided that it was not intentional so he was allowed to stay in the competition and as the competition was a Round Robin he had collected more wins then any other he still collected the Gold.

Danny Carrott continues in winning form by winning the u90k class and the Open class, Danny has been selected to go to the World Sombo Championships in Prague in November he is also a reserve for the World Kurash in October in Mongolia .
