Congratulations to Jamie Congreve of Hillsborough Judo Club for an outstanding performance in the National Police Judo Championships.  

Jamie who works from Ecclesfield Police Station, Sheffield expressed his delight after a double Bronze medal win at Ribby Hall Sports Village near Blackpool.

His first Bronze medal came in his own weight category being under 81kg in the Kyu grade section, and then triumphed to another Bronze medal in the Kyu grade open weight section beating competitors from around the country.

Coaches Cameron McDowall and Jackie Storr are delighted with his achievements commenting "to say this is Jamie's first competition and to enter it at National level is a huge task, but he overcame the competition and fought very well on the day, I like the fact he even came away with a medal in the open weight"

Jamie's parents also attended the event and watched a Judo event for the first time!

The night ended with a formal evening dinner with all the constabularies represented and a medal presentation followed.

Jamie is now in training for next years competition to be held in Edinburgh!
