On Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th July, Yorkshire & Humberside Judo took across a team to take part in the International Judo Tournament in the Glaspalast Stadium, Sindelfingen, Germany. This event had over 2000 competitors from over 19 nations. The tournament is set over an impressive 9 mat areas, and most weight categories contain over 20 players.
After decades as a Natoonal B, Dave Dunsford has finally got round to his exams for progression to National A referee.
This is no small achievement, giving up a huge amount of time to attend events but also in studying rules.
Dave will be familiar to many in the area since he moved up from London, he likes to think himself an honorary Yorkshireman even if his accent gives him away!
Huge congratulations on your promotion Dave.
At the end of June 2024 the North Yorkshire county held their annual festival of Judo.
Once again a candidate was assessed for his referee badge at the event, namely Peter Kelly.
Congratulations Peter, a strong pass.
