       		<description><![CDATA[Wessex took the usual crowd to the Belgian Open in the form of Lottie, Wayne and Kayleigh all looking to build on their previous performances this year. Wayne was first up and was looking to put into action some fancy footwork however the mats on his ring were brand new and like an ice rink making things real hard for him to implement his game, better luck next time! Kayleigh was fighting for the first time in -59's and was in no mood for a bad performance and went out to win her first fight and that she did albeit on golden point but hey a win is a win!! Her next fight went even better with Kayleigh winning 9 - 5, one more win would be a medal placing but unfortunately Kay just couldn't manage to pull it off losing 5 - 3 however she has a lot to be proud of this being her best performance internationally and proving -59 is the right group for her!!  Lottie had a lot to prove after medaling at the German and wanted to stay on that winning streak and she certainly managed to do that beating Germany 5 - 2 and then following up and beating Turkey 3 - 2 both hard fights, this didn't leave enough in the tank and unfortunately Lottie ran out of steam in the last round losing 4 - 3 but in so gaining Yet another international bronze medal. Well done Wessex yet another superb performance!!]]></description>

       		<description><![CDATA[Still hunting for a spot on the British Team Lottie and Kayleigh had trained like demon's in preparation for this competition kowing that a medal here could see them attending the World Champs. Wayne also was in no mood for a bad performance and entered the ring in probably the best mental state I have yet seen, again however the EBP's did there thing and although Wayne fought really well ended up getting beaten by a right hook everytime he closed the opponent down showing that these things could alter the way Kyorugi is played drastically. Kayleigh was very unlucky and after darwing the raised centre court broke under the pressure and didn't have a good game, however some good came out of it with Me instructing Kay to move up weights as I was sure that had something to do with her performance. Lottie was up last again but this time any nerves were far away, after drawing the european silver medalist in the first round Lottie was detrmined to prove she was good enough to be up there with the best and she did just that with a very close fight ending with lottie scoring a 2 point head shot with 3 seconds to go taking her into the Quarter finals with a win 5 - 4. The next player Lottie fought was an American girl who has won the junior olympics on numerous occasions and had already dispatched of her first opponent with remarkable ease, again Lottie showed great determination taking the fight to the wire only narrowly losing out 7 - 5 after a great performance, the American went on to beat her opponent in the Final by 7 point gap shortly in to the second round making Lotties fight the real Final!! Now gaining a Bronze medal Lotties has gained the medal she needs to be considered for the Junior Worlds!! Good Luck<br>]]></description>

       		<description><![CDATA[With the selction procedure out and Kayleigh and Lottie in with a shout of being selected for the National Team winning a medal at the Dutch, German or Belgian open's were a must if they stood any chance of attending the Junior World Championships. Unfortunately things did not go quite as planned with Wayne losing 7 - 0 and Lottie losing 8 - 1 thing did not go well proving that with all the preparation and traing things can still go wrong on the day and this time nerves were a big factor unlucky guys!<br>Kayleigh did put up a spirited fight and on her first outing at the Dutch did well to only lose on Golden Point in the first round but even Kay could have done better and panicked losing 2 points in the last round which took the fight to Golden point. <br><br>Looks Like Germany and Belguim need to be the one where we medal!!]]></description>
