It was a successful weekend on the tatami as Welsh Judoka travelled to Sheffield to compete amongst 700 pupils at the British Schools Championships 2023.
Held at the English Institute of Sport (EIS), the same venue as the esteemed British National Championships, the opening day saw Years 8/9 and 10/11 age categories take to the mat.
The second day got off to a flying start, with Years 6/7, the youngest age group at this years championships in action before the Adaptive and VI competition commenced.
Congratulations to all Welsh Judoka on the fantastic judo and brilliant results.
