It was a great day for everyone travelling from England to Dublin to compete at HDKI Ireland Open Championships. A small team but we brought home 9 medals!!!

Natalie placed first in kata and third in kumite. She was also selected to join the HDKI International team of 10 and competed against Irish team in the final kumite event where the HDKI International team placed first. Congratulations to every single competitor who took part, it takes great courage to step on the mat! Some great quality karate performances shown on the day.
