Also Liverpool Old-Boy Chris Keegan put in a good showing to gain Ni-Dan.

Dave and Ben, better luck next time, lots to think about.

1st Place - Collins (Nagamitsu)
2nd Place - Carter Oscar (Liverpool)
3rd Place - O'Donnell
3rd Place - C.Hollingsworth (Nagamitsu)

Fighting Spirit - Joshua Pullar (Tora Dojo London)
