Judo Results 12th of May, 2007

At the most recent Judo competition on he 12th of May at the Ocean Reef Leisure Centre, hosted by Kano Judo Club, the Gosnells PCYC Judo Club once again had a successful day.  Both competitors from Gosnells succeeded in getting a medal competing in the same divsion.

One of the Gosnells PCYC coahces Gerhard Weaver took the gold medal in the mens under 81kg division, fighting in a division higher than he weighed in at.  Tim Freeman did exceptionally well taking the bronze medal in the same divsion after fighting competitors considerably more experienced than himself losing only to one of his coaches and a first dan blackbelt.

Both players will continue to train and hopefully have further success in whatever challenges are undertaken next.

Judo State Championships 2007

At the recent 2007 Judo State Championships held on the 24th of March at the UWA Claremont Campus, Gosnells PCYC Judo Club proved itself as a particularly strong Judo club having a successful days fighting.  All competitors fought well in one of the most demanding competitions of the year.  Gosnells PCYC Judo Club bought home a number of medals, placing in every division entered.

In the young mens under eighty one kilogram division, Robbie Jordan took out second place fighting early in the day.  He then went on to acheive a third placing in the mens under eighty one kilogram division.

One of the Gosnells PCYC coaches, Gerhard Weaver remains undefeated this year, taking out the first placing in the mensunder seventy three kiogram division.

Alicia Berner had an excellent day winning both the womens over seventy eight kilogram division and womens open weight division.

The absence of the mens open weight division meant that our male entrants were not given  another opportunity to compete on the day.

All our fighters are continuing to train hard with targets set a little higher.  All of those qualifying will consider travelling to Adelaide in June for the 2007 Judo National Championships.

On Behalf of the Staff and Members of Gosnells PCYC, I’d like to extend our congratulations to Alicia, Robbie and Gerhard on their great results, and wish them all the best in the National Championships coming up in June.
