Following his bronze medal at the Fuengirola Cadet European Cup, Welsh judoka Ben Moore (Bradley Stoke) has been selected to compete in the -73kg category. Laurence Hill (Dragon’s Judo Academy) will take to the mat fighting in the -50kg category. Kylan Aylward (Dragon’s Judo Academy) will join his three Welsh compatriots competing in the -66kg category.

Tim Ellis, Performance Pathway Manager said: 

“After a fantastic few months, we are really pleased to announce the fighters identified for the Cadet European Championships. The fact that so many cadets are performing so well is a real reflection on the clubs, the personal coaches and the Home Nation programmes as well as the fighters involved, and a huge credit goes to those people.”

Congratulations to all three judoka on their fantastic achievement and best of luck in their preparations ahead of the Championships.
