Australian Uni Games Judo Competition (Day 2)

Returning to Newcastle to fight in the individual events, UNSW Judo
Club was represented by Winnie Au and Rita So in the women's
divisions and Alex Else, Eric Tirtana, James Susanto, Hugo Lee
and Michael Penkov in the men's. After a long wait, the competition
finally kicked off with the heavyweight divisions being fought
first.

Alex Else fought well to take 3rd place in the -81kg category,
beating Eric Tirtana with osaekomi (a hold-down) in the end of
a tough match. James Susanto fought with brilliant fighting spirit
but was unable to secure a place in the fiercely contested -73kg
category. Hugo Lee fought well in the -66kg division, defeating one
opponent after the other with ippon to secure a place in the final,
losing only to the experienced John Burfoot to take silver medal and
2nd place.

In the womens' categories, Rita So and Winnie Au faced
the experienced Rebecca Halligan of Sydney Uni (also a UNSW Judo
Club regular). Winnie fought well, taking the match almost to full
time before being caught with a well-timed deashibarai (foot sweep)
for ippon. Rita was able to keep the higher ground for the majority of
her match after scoring with a take-down, but was unable to escape a
powerful uchi-mata seconds before the end of the bout.

After a long wait it was time for the men's -60kg division.
Despite having to face only one opponent, Michael Penkov still nearly
managed a loss after being caught in osaekomi half-way into the match.
Luckily, he managed to escape and shortly thereafter ended the match
with a suprise left seoi-nage attack to take first place.

Overall, a good day for UNSW, with a number of relatively new club
members making their competitive debut at this level with promising
results for the future.
