The Quinte Judo Club was well represented at the Golden North Open Judo Championships in Peterborough on Saturday.

Roya Shafai earned 3rd place in the women’s -57 kg division.

Shafai ended her first match in about 10 seconds for full point.

In Judo, throwing an opponent flat on their back, or pinning them for 20 seconds will end the 4 minute bout early.

The award is voted upon by members for the student whom best exemplifies “Enthusiasm, Discipline & Perseverance” (under the age of 16).
