On 8th July 2023 we saw players once again competing for points for the coveted black belt and for promotion within the black belt grades.
A quieter grading than usual for these dual format events we host, but we were still able to provide an opportunity for point collection for many.
Thank you to all who came along, players, the volunteer officials and the medics provided by FAB Training.
