Sherborne 9 - Winchester College 4.   28th January 2010.

Despite running a Judo club for 18 months this 'freiendly' match was its first outing. With new members spread across the school age range it was almost impossible to guess what the outcome would be.  It was a great opportunity for our boys to experience a different club and a different way of doing things. I think the first phase, a long “warm up” would have been found quite novel. Luckily it didn’t tire them too much.

When the actual competition started the Sherborne boys showed a considerable focus on their tasks and their obvious superiority in strength and stamina showed itself.

The score was Sherborne – 9, Winchester – 4  Draw - 1. A great showing for a first time. We appreciate the generosity of spirit of Winchester College for fighting us of such little experience; we must really give our thanks to them for this great opportunity.
