A great day of competition for the team today 👏🥋
Really proud of all of our athletes who stepped onto the mats and gave everything. We saw some fantastic performances, great determination, and lots of progress throughout the day. Win or lose, every single player showed a brilliant attitude, supported each other well, and represented the club in the right way.
Well done to all players, coaches, and parents for the support throughout the day. We keep learning, improving, and building together 💪🔥
Big thank you to Rick Simpson and everyone involved in hosting and organising the event today. These competitions take a lot of hard work behind the scenes and it’s always appreciated by all the clubs, coaches, players, and parents involved 👏
