Bungay do well in the 2010 Eastern Interclub Tournament! Bungay Taekwon-do club has had a great start to the tournament season of 2010.

20 students from the club travelled the 110 miles to Wellingborough in Northamptonshire for the Eastern Region GTUK Inter Club Challenge and gained a whole host of medals in all divisions leading to another brilliant 2nd place, the 3rd such placing in 3 years! Wellingborough (the host town and a club triple the size of Bungay) won the competition whilst Cambridge, Kettering, Roade, Northampton, Raunds and Grange Park all finished below Bungay in the league table.

Bungay achieved 21 medals including 10 golds, 7 silver and 4 bronzes and 1 family doing especially well with Nidge (gold destruction and silver sparring), Suzi (gold sparring), Logan (gold sparring and silver patterns) and Kal Bedingfield (gold sparring) all reaching the podium whilst Sophie (gold sparring) and Jenna Akerman (silver sparring) also did really well ending up in the final together after several tough bouts. Other winners were Will Everson (gold sparring and bronze patterns), Edward Parker-Jervis (gold patterns and bronze sparring) Tom Raven (silver sparring) Andy Hibbins (silver sparring) and little Rudy Larter in his 1st ever competition (bronze sparring).

The black belts of the club did superbly as well with Fiona Larter (gold sparring and patterns) Lianne Hatcher (silver sparring and patterns) and the club instructor Clinton Gillett (gold patterns and bronze sparring) rounding off the event.

Martin Sloan, Ryan Hatcher, Rory, Persia and Petitia Larter all competed really well but narrowly missed out on the medals, often gaining the most gutting position of all 4th.

The club is recruiting for new students at the moment so if you want to get fit for the new year come along to Bungay High school on Tuesday or Thursday evenings from 7pm or contact Clinton Gillett on 01986 892140 for further details. The youngest students in the club are 7 years old and there is no upper age limit.
