For a Second Year Running Bearwood, College Wokingham's Judo Team are National Champions
Bearwood College, Wokingham is proud to boast that their Judo Team have retained
their title of 'National Champions'. The National Independent Schools Judo
Championships tournament was held last weekend at the High Wycombe Judo Centre.
Stephen Aiano, Headmaster at Bearwood College, said: 'We are so proud of what the team has achieved especially competing at this high level and beating such prestigious opposition for two consecutive years.'
Gregory Mitchell, team member said: 'This year's squad was smaller than our team that won last year so we were hard pressed to match Bearwood's previous success. It meant that every medal would count so we were so surprised and elated to hold the winning shield up high again!'
There was also individual success on the day for the team members.
Joshua Trafford, a Year 8 pupil, fought admirably against taller, stronger opponents in the under 46 Kilograms, two groups up from his intended category and won a Gold medal.
