Judo

As in the past the club will not be able to send its strongest team. Studies and expense will prevent some from making the trip to Auckland. Prom those available 16 members have been chosen to travel. We have two representatives for the open championship. Peter Hannah and Dave Feickert. while in the open Kyu team championships Peter Hannah, Dave Feickert, David Mitchell, David Andrews and Derek Fryburg will be competing.

The club has made no attempt to gauge the strength of opposing teams but is expecting strong entries from Auckland, Otago and Canterbury.

Unfortunately the club lacks experienced members in the higher grades although Peter Hannah, Richard Dench, Warrick While and Peter Cleghorn all have had previous tournament experience. However, the younger members are keen and fit which should make for some major upsets.

Training has concentrated on tournament technique and the abilities available.
