On Sunday 16th May members from Faolchú travelled to Dublin to compete in the JKS Spring Championships. They competed well and brought home 3 national medals.
Junior member Jadzia Murphy placed 2nd in Gohon (5 step)Kumite, an excellent result in this category. This is Jadzias second National level result in under a year and has put her on the road to International Competition.
Senior members brother and sister Marty Boyle and Marie Murphy placed 3rd in their Kata divisions.
Marty missed out on a 1st place in what was a tied competition after the first round when he made a small mistake. This forced a second round and a different Kata from which he brought home 3rd place. A great honour for the club and an excellent result from a National Competition. Marty also took part in Kumite (sparring) but despite fighting well failed to place.
Marie Murphy (Faolchú Instructor)took part in Kata and Kumite. Marie is no stranger to high level competition and competed well. In the Kata Marie placed 4th in a world championship field. In kumite she upped her performance and placed 3rd. Marie will be travelling to Poland in the Autumn to take part in the World Championships.
