Following their recent success at the National Championships Bournemouth and Christchurch Taekwondo clubs took a small team of competitors to the Welsh Challenge Cup. The competition was in Monmouth Wales and this meant that we were on the road by 5.30am to get there for a 9am weigh-in.

All the 6 local players that took part were medal winners including

Robin Widajewski-Kleszcz winning Bronze in the Junior under 59kg category
Sebastian Allen winning Bronze in the Junior under 64kg category
David Lickman winning Bronze in the Junior under 68kg category
Matthew Pike winning Gold in the Junior under 73kg category
Aaron Moss winning Silver in the Senior under 67kg category
Kjeld Smedley winning Bronze in the Senior under 76kg category

David Lickman and Aaron Moss whilst not winning gold did exceptionally well as they both came up against international standard players from the Irish and welsh teams respectively. Matthew Pike went one better, winning gold, and confirming his status as one of the countries finest Junior Taekwondo players.
