Clacton International

The Keisen junior and youth squad was in action at Clacton Leisure Centre competeing in the annual Clacton International Championships on Sunday 18th October.

Regular competition players, Jess Plumtree, Elizabeth Draper and James Draper were joined by Joanna Braim, returning to competition after a long a break. Elizabeth made a superb return to form by claiming gold in the junior -52kg group with some superb ippon judo.

Jess seized a bronze medal in the -57kg juniors and but for a slip up in her pool could easily have made the final. Also unlucky not to be in the medals, was James Draper, fighting in the young mens -60kg group, he slipped up in the bronze medal final after a long period of domination and had to settle for 5th place. Joanna did not place this time but fought extremely well and is now beginning to settle back into competitive judo.
