MORE than 100 competitors from 19 clubs right across Victoria travelled to Drouin recently for a regional Judo Victoria competition, organised and run by the Gippsland Judo Clubs of Wonthaggi, Traralgon, Drouin, and Yinnar.
Over 100 spectators and supporters were able to watch 140 bouts throughout the day, from a strongly represented under 9s division of 40 players to Cadets, Seniors and Veterans.
The competition also featured a ‘No Limits’ division, catering for competitors with diverse and special needs.
“It was truly incredible to see the turnout of so many players and supporters on the day, especially with how hard COVID has hit so many sporting clubs,” event coordinator Hunter Richardson said.
“We’re looking forward to hosting this event again next year.”
The event’s catering was provided by the Drouin Lions Club, along with local businesses Koffee Cart of Boolarra and Homegrown Photography, capturing all the weekends excitement.
