Throwback to Inter-Varsities 2026 🥋🏆

We had a BIG representation at this year’s Inter-Varsities with a total of 28 of our judokas competing, alongside many more supporting from the side of the mat! 👏

The long trip to Dublin didn’t stop us from bringing home 23 medals:
🥇 5 Gold
🥈 8 Silver
🥉 10 Bronze

Including the 'Best Male Judoka of the Day' awarded to Ashik Rahman 🏆 and a 1st place finish for our Women’s Team! 🏆🥇

From our most experienced competitors to those stepping onto the competition mat for the first time, we’re incredibly proud of all our judokas — but especially our novices who took the opportunity to compete and many of whom brought home medals of their own! 🥋👏

A fantastic day of competition, teamwork and support from everyone involved.

Well done UCC Judo 🥋❤️🖤☠️
