GLOSSOP Judo Club has seen its fighters among the medals with numerous golds from recent competitions.A fortnight ago, Eric Ham and Ryan Phillips were in action at the BJC National Championships in Hereford. Ham won all five of his fights to bring back a gold, while Phillips won four of his five encounters to come away with a bronze.

That was followed by the Parks Judo Club Championships at Whitley Bay, a journey made by Ham, Rhiannon Baldwin, Fay Hall and Sam Hall.

All four of them were allowed to enter the age group above their own, as well as compete against fighters in their age category. They were undefeated against their contemporaries, earning them gold medals in the process.

Moving up in age and weight, Ham was unbeaten on his way to the final, only to lose in the final 20 seconds.

Baldwin was also beaten in her final, while Fay Hall came away with a bronze after facing some of the country’s best girls.

It was Sam Hall who took centre stage for Glossop, winning all three of his fights to return with a second gold medal.

Finally, Ham and Baldwin travelled to Welshpool to take part in the AJ Judo charity event.

Fighters from as far afield as Scotland and London were in action, but could not prevent the Glossop duo from posting 100 per cent records to return with gold medals.
