Hung Sao Do Inter-club Senior Competition 2010

25th April 2010 held at Forest Hall

In a break from previous years, the competition was split into separate events for Juniors and Seniors, with the Junior event following in early June.

This meant a lot less waiting around for the competitors, and everything ran really smoothly. It was good to see some of the juniors arriving with banners to support their clubs and families.

A good morning's competition ensued, with some new faces fighting for the first time, and doing really well, but in the main Black Belt event, it was the older faces that showed us all how it should be done!
