       XVI INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP 2009 " VILLA DE VALDEMORO

 Madrid on the 9th May  

Between the 8th and 10th May 2009 PSUK Judo sent a team to compete in the 16th International Championship of Valdermoro. Valdermoro is a town 20km South of Madrid in Spain. The PSUK team was as follows:

Andy Moss - Cheshire - Coach
John Ellis - West Midlands - Over 90kg
Stuart Harris - West Midlands - Under 73kg
Gavin McNeil - Lothian and Borders - Over 90kg
Mark Brew - Merseyside - Over 90kg
Jethro Christie - North Wales - Over 90kg
Jason Moore - Grampian - Under 90kg
Lee Holley - Devon and Cornwall - Under 81kg
Gary Liddle - Surrey - Under 66kg
Lauren Slater - West Yorkshire - Under 70kg


Friday 8th May - The team travelled from Liverpool airport to Madrid
Barajas airport, and after an interesting journey, including a number of changes of trains, arrived at Valdemoro in time for an evening meal and some light refreshment.

Saturday 9th May -With the weigh in taking place at 4pm, this left some time for those still to make their weight to do so. Some of the party enjoyed joining in the traditional "running with the bulls" through the streets of the town concluding in the bull ring.

With all the PSUK team having successfully made their weights, the competition began at 5pm. With 4 mats in use the tournament ran till around 10pm. There were teams from Portugal, Andora, France, Guardia Civil,National Spanish Police, Italy and other Spanish Club teams. Several
Interantional Players were present and the standard was high.

All the PSUK team performed well and with 9 competing a medal haul of 7 was
an excellent result.

Gold - John Ellis over 90kg
Gold - Lauren Slater under 70kg
Silver - Gavin McNeil over 90kg
Silver - Lauren Slater over 70kg
Silver - Jason Moore under 90kg
Silver - Stuart Harris under 73kg
Silver - Gary Liddle under 66kg

Lee Holley was unlucky not to progress form his pool with a win and a loss as was Mark Brew, again with a win and a loss.

After the medal presentation, the team joined the French Team for an evening meal and then joined in with the local festivities with their Spanish hosts. A jubilant team returned on the Sunday afternoon, with a formal invitation from the Spanish to return the following year. The French
coach has also offered an invitation to a select PSUK team to compete in an International event in Paris in November 2009.

Thanks for those who fought and the effort the put in the training, and for portraying such a professional example to our Spanish hosts and the other teams present.
