Judo
Pleasingly, the boys’ training and consistent effort were rewarded once again at the HMC Judo Nationals. Our experienced and dynamic coach, Finn Gleeson, focused their attention on ground-work and fighting techniques in order to maximise competition points and our team of five gained the highest placing we have ever achieved. The School was placed second overall, with Conrad Cowan (5m) and Peter Angkasith (5e) being awarded individual gold medals and Tem Tuganov (3b) an individual bronze. Joss Creswell (5a) and influential captain Marcus Soo (U6e) made up the team; Marcus has been an outstanding and dedicated captain as well as a committed member of the judo team and his enthusiasm and stable presence will be missed.
