10th Dublin Primary School’s Judo Championships 2007

50 Contestants from all over Ireland took part in this year’s competition. For most players, this was their first taste of competition & they all rose to the occasion, with some hotly contested categories in all age & weight groups.

Sean Donoghue, St. Mary’s NS, Lambs Cross, won the opening event, U-22 kg, U-6 years, with a straight win against clubmate Jack Keating who took second place, while Harry McGovern, from the same school won at U-23 kg, U-7 yrs.

Female Player of the Day, Sarah O’Gara, Scoil Bhríde, Coolmine, was in incredible form, retaining the same title she won last year, winning all her fights by Ippon, while 6 year-pld Fintan Farry, Pats BNS, Drumcondra, proved far too strong for all opponents at U-28 kg, U-8 years, winning 2 matches by textbook Ippon Seoi Nage & the Male Player of the Day title

Under-11 years, Brendan Mullins, Scoil na Mainistreach, Roscommon, won all his 3 matches to win the lightest category, while David Carroll, St. Josephs, Fairview, won the heavier division in the same age group.

A special word of thanks must go to David Kane, Cathal Ó Fainin & Colin Kiernan who manned the table all day & to referees Eamon Fitzpatrick & Pavla Handlirova who presided very fairly over the entire competition.
