Club Honoured by AJA Awards

According to Ramses Gold (in the latest post at the "official" AJA website), the Auckland University Judo Club will be honoured at the upcoming Annual Sporting Excellence Awards 2009. The AJA website reveals that we have won 4 out of 6 categories (2 categories being withdrawn this year). Our awards are for:

Senior Judoka of the Year (20 and over)
Sensei Rick Littlewood. For highest placing by an Auckland Judoka at a major International Contest.

Youth Judoka of the Year (15 – 19 years)
Dennis H. While technically outside the age limit we say that this “fashionable judo girl” doesn’t look a day over 19. Dennis achieved “cultural” successes on the world stage and iconic infamy in Tokyo.

Coach of the Year
Jackie, for services to AKL UNI Juniors.

Club Event of the Year
www.judokong.com. A world-class judo site that punches above its weight.

Congratulations Uni Judo, a BIG effort!!!
