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
