Taekwond Bradley claims first place

The tournament at Rotherham’s Magna Science Centre was the first competition of the year for Pilgrim Taekwondo Club members.

And 13-year-old para athelete Bradley was presented with a first place for his excellent poomsae in the P30 under 14 category.

Ben Simpson, 10, was entered into the -36kg children’s catagory, only his second competition.

He fought extremely hard against a more experienced player in the quater finals, just missing out on a medal with an final score of 17-12.

Coach Jason Featherstone reacted with delight, saying: “I could not ask any more from the kids.

“I am extremely proud of them both.

“Bradley continues to practice his patterns and is a member of the GB Para Poomsae Squad.

“Ben is so strong with his fight techniques I see a national champion in the making this year.”
