Congratulations to Kennedy – Silver Medal – State Championships June 7th 2008.
4kg overweight and a week out from the tournament Kennedy knew he would need to work hard to shed some weight. On the morning of the weigh-in and after stripping for the weigh-in there was still some work to do. An hour later and minus his necklace and ear ring……Bingo! Kennedy made it by the skin of his teeth.
At 15years of age and fighting in the under 18 division, Kennedy has done Padbury proud by winning Silver. Fighting a more experienced opponent for the Gold, Kennedy had to keep his head together and work hard. At the end of the 3rd round and with a 4 – 0 result, Kennedy smiled and said he has gained from this experience.
Padbury Taekwondo Club congratulates Kennedy Blowfield on his success.
