The standard of this Kyu Grade Championships was very high. The WKU Men’s Team lost in the first round to the eventual championship winners.

This was followed by the Individual events.  All our squad performed with good spirit and enthusiasm which led to some brilliant results as you can see from the list above.

A big ‘Thank You’ to all the parents and Coaches who put themselves out on a very bad wintry weekend.
