On Sunday 20 October the Shinken Shobu Ryu Judo junior squad stepped up for the Shinsei champions in the south Lake Leisure Centre, Craigavon. For many of their young Judoka this was their first opportunity to test their skills.
In the Mini mons which is the younger section Ziggy Magee and Amber Melling were on their competitive debut and showed their grit with Ziggy winning gold and Amber winning Bronze.
Stepping up to the Kyu grades the club had a team of 6 with a mixture of first and second time competitors.
Charlie Rafferty, Ellen Keenan, Kalal Magee, and Maria Burns-Kimberly received silver medals and to complete the team Carl Keenan, and Karl Law both lifted bronze.
Not to be outdone members of othe club's Masters team Paul McConville, Martin Fearon and Paddy McCambridge entered the prestigious Irish Masters on 26 October. Paul and Paddy both showed the determination and skills to fight their way through to secure gold. Martin returning after a hiatus returned with a very well earned silver medal.
