Inter-club Success


Inter-club Success Team Alloa travelled to Glasgow on Saturday to compete at the central Scotland interclub tournament. The Little Pumas, junior and senior students competed against other students from Stirling, Falkirk, Glasgow East, Glasgow South, and Coatbridge.

The Little Puma Class did extremely well we even managed to win a Gold medal at the High kick competition. Everyone else was very unlucky not to have won a medal but will be excited to receive there participation medal next week.

Those who didn’t win this time or haven’t yet been to a competition should know that if you train hard, behave and practise at home you have a great shot at winning at the next competition!!

<------- Just ask this man!
Our Junior Class were winning medals left, right and centre ring all day with some great efforts all round. The Boag brothers were unlucky not to have picked up a medal, as was Adian Declan and Harris (who missed out by 1 point!) Rebecca and Katie also were a bit unfortunate not to have a medal.

Kristian, who was attending his first competition put in a great performance at the high kick and took gold. Shaun followed up his impressive display at the WKA Qualifiers to take gold in sparring. Andrew Ballentyne took silver in his sparring category and Gary and David McNaughton devastated the competition to meet in an all Alloa/brother final with Gary edging the Gold. Ryan Davidson put in the performance of the day to take a Set. Gold in High Kick, Silver in Sparring, and Bronze in Patterns.

Our Seniors once again showed that Alloa is the number one class for adults to train with Jez winning Gold, Davie P silver and Calum bronze. Gary McNaughton Snr also managed to secure gold in white belt patterns - a really difficult category. Johnas who was mourning the death of his cat by flying his trousers at half mast was unfortunate not to medal in his second competition.
