Rawlins Novice Challenge 2010

 

   Rawlins Challenge 2010 Sparring Players Results

 

It was a great day on Saturday for our Novice Comp. Every one had lots of fun and the atmosphere was great considering that we had to move the venue on the day.

A great thanks to all of the clubs that support the tournament, Tans, Factor Ten, Yun Hap, and BTC.

Also a special thank you to the Luyt family whom all did a lot on the day.

I would like to also thank Barry and Sue Trewin from Distinctive Pools for their sponsorship and support of our club and of the tournament.

 

 

Oceania & Commenwealth Selections

 

Great results was once again achieved by our members at the Oceania and Commonwealth Taekwondo Selection Championships on the 25th September in Melbourne. We had 14 of our best junior and senior fighters from WA & QLD compete at these selections in the hope that at the end of the day after some hard and tough competition they would emerge as champions and be part of the Australian Team that would represent our country at these 2 major Championships.

Our Team Rawlins did not let us down, with Renae Perkins, Nadine Venter, Emily O'Sullivan, Mustaffa Olomi, Jess Jordan, Jasmine Cross and Chad Cross all winning gold, and Tiaana Dicicco, Jacob White, Kalis Vandiappan and Sinead Smyth winning silver, and Hayley Brandon, Ondrej Venter and Keti Hristoska all winning bronze.

We should have had a couple more gold medals had it not been for some not so fair decisions that didn't go our way but that is the nature of our sport and we will go on with it (we don't have to be happy, but we will go on with it ). There were some good stories from these comp, which will be detailed in our full report (coming soon, so watch this space).

Till then, congratulations to all our team members who once again dominated the Selection Comp

Fight of the day goes to Chad Cross Great Knock out in the final fight.

Rawlins Qld would like to Congratulate Jessica Jordan, Chad Cross and Jasmine Cross for making the Australian Team for the World Cup which will be held In China well done guys.

And Sinead Smyth for getting Silver.

Mr. Rawlins has done it again, with 3 off his 4 fighters making it into the Australian World Cup Team, the selections were held in Canberra at the AIS, where the top Taekwondo clubs from around Australia took their best fighters in an attempt to make the 8 spots that were needed to be filled by Australia for the World Cup Team....

Congratulations to Jessica Jordan, Jasmine Cross and Chad Cross on winning Gold and to Sinead Smyth who narrowly lost the finals in the last 8 seconds of the match  by 1 point,to bring home the Silver, if only the point went the other way, we would have had all 4 players represent Australia, making it a 100% result.  

With the results that Mr. Rawlins has achieved at this, and other Australian Team Selection Events he has earnt the name Super Coach....

Renae after a slow start come home well to win both junior and open Black belt divisions.  

Lauren in her continued comeback to competition was happy with her bronze after loosing in sudden death.   

Ben Thomas won senior Yellow belt in first tournament.  This was a great achievement after suffering a deep cut to his nose in first fight.  He then came out and won his second fight in golden point with a stunning head kick.  Coach Chris was very bemused as to why the head shot as he had asked for a clean body kick.  His reply was but he had his arms in front of the chest plate and his head was more open.  A good lesson for all my black belts on how to win a golden point quickly.   Ha Ha....   

Zita fought a brave fight whilst suffering with a bad case of the flu.  

All in all a good effort we look forward to the next tournament.

 


 

 

 

 

Good luck to all our fighters in New Zealand, you have worked hard and trained hard, now  it is time to shine in the ring, give your 100% and you will come out winners.

Out of the 10 fighters that fought on Sunday they won in total 12 Gold Medals - it was not easy but our fighters stood up for the challenge and fought hard and with determination.

In total We won 14 Gold Medals - for better than 100% Success - particularly pleasing was the fact that we did not lose any fights on the day.

The Winners are: Mustafaa Olomi, Jahan Olomi, Renea Perkins, Zita Dore, Dominic Bielicki, Abdullah Houadchia, Zekria Sayed, Cedric Luyt, Cheri Luyt, Zulaikha Deen (missing from photo).

Courtney Pomerenke and Khaaled Olomi both won Gold medals in 2 weight divisions. Between them they contested 7 fights and this earned them fighters of the tournament status.
