On Sunday 2nd February a team of five juniors travelled just north of Manchester to take part in the Celtic Challenges Northern Open.
This was the first time that we have attended the event and we were delighted that Lauren came away with a first place in her weight division.
Kobe Embuido had a cracking fight, I had him ahead on points throughout the bout but unfortunately the judges rules against Kobe. Looking back at the video it was close and I think his opponent had the upper hand in the clinch.
Daisy Taylor and Yzabella were in the same category, Daisy took an eight count in the second round following a knee just above her hips. She fought back winning the next three rounds but lost overall on points. Yzabella made it to the final and took on the winner from Daisy's bout again just losing on points.
Tilly had a really good semi final, she was stronger than her opponent although probably not quite as refined, she beat her opponent and took her place in the final along side a girl who had taken a 'buy' to the final. Tilly was exhausted and couldn't make it past round two.
Lauren won her fight easily and took on the title of Northern Open Champ 2014 for her age and weight division.
