A massive thanks - re NI BJJ Open

weemate

Im just back from the event at the Valey leisure centre in Belfast and I would like to say a massive massive thanls to all who turned up to compete or support their team mates and the event.
Special mention to the following,Jonny Burrows,Claire Craig,Niall,Johnny Smith,Aaron Rainey,Waquar Ahmed, Keeva,Ciaran,Gary mc Clean and Dee Brennan.
A extra special mention to Robert Cullinan for organising the kids section and running it so smoothly.
We had a great turnout from Donegal jiu jitsu,strabane,oakleaf,Kyoujin,Gracie Barra,Revolution and Torres from what I could see.Some of these guys travelled from early this morning despite the ridiculous weather and for this Im eternally grateful.
Im shattered now to be honest but I hope everybody enjoyed the day and I hope to see you all on the mat very soon.
Results will follow when we have them all sorted.
