Congratulations! Especially to jeff Monson who is well known to us. Congrats especially to the girls! Always nice to see them in comps like this! This is from a friend of mine Lisa Newton who was competing.


"All the UK team girls came home with medals, me and Rachel got silver, with Anna and Kathy getting Bronze. Aisling drew Tara La Rosa in her first fight and did really well but lost on points.

Tara went onto win her division she won very narrowly over Rachel in the second round after Rachel beat Christina Raguil, and the final was USA v Russian Lloudmila Sounovkova. Unfortunately Rachel and Anna had to fight for the bronze play off, but then the RUS had a hissy fit and was DQ for not collecting her medal meaning Rachel received it after beating Anna. Lisa Ward won her division by winning over me on points 6-0 for a take down and side control, she beat the Romanian in 57 seconds and I beat the Romanian on points 15-0 meaning i got the silver. Kathy beat Courtney Martell from USA and then drew Felicia Oh in the next round and lost on points, Kathy then fought and beat Christina Rodriguez in the bronze fight.

The guys did really well too. Tom Blackledge got Bronze-he lost to Jeff Monson in the semi's, Tom Barlow got Bronze and so did Ollie Dew.

It was a fantastic experience,apart from dodgy bus rides with crazy guys driving, really good team spirit.

Please forgive the irratic writing as I've been awake for 36 hours straight and just got home.

Ireland got a silver from John Kavannah"
