Eagling’s Taekwondo Players clean up at the Nationals
Players from Eagling’s Taekwondo travelled to Sydney over the weekend as Part of the Tasmanian Team to compete at the 2008 Taekwondo Australia National Championships. The competition was held at Olympic Park. The event was the biggest martial arts competition held in Australia with 1642 competitors from around Australia entered in the three day event.
Our tournament team trained consistently hard all year under the watchful eyes of Grant Chilcott and Daniels Gledhill. 5 players from Eagling’s Taekwondo made the State squad for 2008 as a result of consistently hard and dedicated training.
Players making the squad were: Sally Bound, Jack Sowter, Ty Dobie, Brett Hunt and Brandon Servant.
Taekwondo Tasmania contested a small team as part of its National campaign this year taking just 11 competitors competing in both the sparring and technical disciplines of the event and brining home 9 medals – 4 gold, 3 silver and two bronze. A monumental result for Tasmania.
I was delighted with the performance of athletes from our club. It proves that we can produce quality athletes at all levels of the sport the younger athletes producing results that will take them toward National selection and on to International competition in the next few seasons. Of particular note was the performance of Jack Sowter who competed in the Black Belt Division. Jack has made great progress this year and made it through to the second round of competition after winning convincingly in a mature display of skills in the first round
We fielded a number of veteran athletes this year also doing well and bringing home medals to prove that Taekwondo is a versatile sport for all ages, with all veterans brining home medals to satisfy the never ending desire of competitive athletes hold dear. Well done to all squad members, best of luck for 2009
