Young Referee

We are super proud of Kirsty and her involvement across Scotland and the UK as a young referee. Kirsty supports a variety of events, is constantly developing her skills and is looking to take her refereeing to the next level over the next few years. She volunteers her time around studying in Aberdeen and working part-time.

Well done, Kirsty!

Scottish Closed Championships

Day 2
Junior, Senior and Veterans

Another early start all round. There was some great judo on display, some early wins and of course losses, all part and parcel of the day. Juniors and seniors from the club competed across a range of weight categories, with Morgan competing in the veterans section.

A number of players made the podium, with some earning their first medal at this level.

We are super proud of everyone who competed, and of everyone who turns up day in and day out, even when it’s tough. Keep working, keep developing and keep setting and writing down those goals.

Every day is another chance to be better. Better than yesterday.

Big thanks to everyone who competed, coached and supported.

Scottish Closed Championships

Day 1
Minors, Pre-cadet and Cadets

The day started early with our four cadets up first. Both Alban and Fergus made it through to their respective finals, with both boys competing well, and Alban taking gold and Fergus silver. Euan won the best of three in his category, taking the gold medal with a solid performance. CiCi had a good run, where she fought through the rep, winning with a throw for ippon to take bronze.

The minors and pre-cadets had a tougher day, with this being a huge step up for some. Contests were won and lost and there was lots of learning to take away. Clara fought through to win bronze, with a strong performance and some tough contests throughout the day.

Overall, a great experience all round, good preparation for the cadets heading off to the British and lots of lessons learned.

Big shout out to the parents and coaches for their support and guidance.

Welsh Open 2026

Alban: Cadet -66kg🥇
Archie: Senior -100kg🥈
Liam: Senior -66kg 🥉
Fergus: Cadet -81kg 7th place
Omar: Junior & Senior -73kg 5th place
Evan: Junior & Senior -81kg 7th place

Twelve players and four coaches attended the Welsh Open over the weekend, a Home Nations ranking event where judoka have an opportunity to test themselves against the best in Britain.

Across two days, there was opportunity to gain experience, achieve results and collect GB ranking points.

A stormy weekend made travel a little more challenging, but with two minibuses full of songs and chatter, and very little sleeping, the players and coaches made memories that’ll last far longer than the results.

A huge well done everyone. Big hearts, lots of fight and plenty of progress. Let’s continue to grow as judoka and people, learning from what went well and where we can improve.

Big thanks to the coaches for all the support and organising.
