Glossop Judo Club
fighter Eric Ham travelled over to Duisburg, Germany for the 13th Sparda International Cup for Young Men Under
15 Years. This is Germany's premier international
competition of the year for boys under 15 years of age and is a German national
squad selection event. There were over three hundred participants from 152 judo
clubs from Belgium, England, Holland, Latvia, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Slovenia
and the host country Germany. There were also seventeen German regional squads
present. The matches were four minutes long and both arm-locks and strangles
were allowed. British Champion, Eric fought well against some of Europes best fighters
winning four tough fights before losing out in the final. A creditable silver medal in this event was
added to the Gold Medal he won in 2010. Next weekend Eric will travel to Lyon for the
tough Mions International.
