TAGB Closed Scottish 2015

Sorry for the late posting of this one. A few things didnt quite happen that were supposed to but we all pickup and struggle on :)

We seem to have been blessed with beautiful weather for the last few Scottish competitions and this one was no different. The sun was blazing away but not quite shorts and T-shirt weather yet as there'd been a small flurry or two of snow on the way up to this years venue, the Wishaw Sports Center.

As always its great to catch up with instructors and students from other clubs who I tend to only see at competitions and gradings. Well done to Ainslie Park club who had a blinder of a day and won the shield.

So how did Prestwick & Ayr get on? Well  a total of 23 medals isnt a bad wee haul. The medal winners were:

Connor Mulgrew - Gold Individual sparring & Gold tag team
Karina Chahal - Gold patterns, Bronze Individual Sparring & Bronze Tag team
Karah Chahal - Gold Patterns & Bronze Tag team
Dylan Nutt - Gold Parent & child patterns, Gold Tag team & Bronze Patterns
Craig Nutt - Gold Parent & child patterns, Bronze Patterns
Maureen Brown -Silver Patterns, Silver Tag team & Gold Individual Sparring
Ryan Brown - Gold Tag team
Amy Milne - Bronze Individual sparring, Bronze Patterns & Gold Tag team
Darrin McDowall - Silver Individual Sparring & Gold Tag team
Kiran Chahal - Silver Parent & child patterns
Mr Chahal - Silver Parent & child patterns
GOLD = 11
SILVER= 5
BRONZE= 7

It should be noted that Mr Chahal "sacrificed" his gold medal chance during the parent and child patterns in order to allow his esteemed students the chance of extra burpees for beating him.... that is what happened isnt it Sir?? :)

During one of my wanderings round the floor taking photos and chatting to people, I was roped into doing some timekeeping on Area 5 as they were a person short. I was treated to some cracking continuious fights, mostly from the girls I might add. Special mention to Chiara McIntyre who blazed through her fight to win the gold. Cracking performance Chiara!

English Championships are up this weekend. For those going down, good luck and safe trip!
