THE PIE MEN JUST MISS OUT AT BEV PRICE TEAM EVENT

At the Bev Price team event held in Walsall on Sunday 27th November Pyrford entered one team in the lightweight boys group. The team was named the Pie Men due to the Judo worlds inability to pronounce Pyrford  (Purford).. usually pronounced as Pieford or sometimes Prieford !!!!

Shaun Malazarte .. Patrick Barnes .. Archie Platt all fought valiantly but finished in 3rd place out of 5  in their 1st round group so were unable to progress further in what is undoubtedly the toughest team event in the UK

On Sunday 16th October in Pyrford had just 2 players competing in the British Championships in the 12 and 13 year old age band B

Elizabeth Jamieson had her first competition at under 48kg (what an event to try out a new category). Her first contest she was winning until she was caught with a nice throw and hold down by Lucy Day. In her second contest she produced a neat turnover to hold Ivela Edwards for Ippon. This gave her a semi final match with Kymran Shergill. The match went to time with Shergill winning by 2 shidos. Elizabeth was pressing hard in the second half of the contest but was just unable to get the score needed.. coming very close to holding her opponent down at one time. This gave her the Bronze in her new category. Shergill went on to throw her opponent in the final for Ippon in just 10 seconds

Jade Warr had a great start in the +63kg category winning with a combination of a waza ari throw and 3 penalties against her opponent Katie Boston. Unfortunately she was injured in her 2nd contest and was unable to continue in the competition. Just show a measure of Jades potential .. Katie Boston went on to take the Silver medal
