The team met up at Waterloo,
and travelling by Eurostar, arrived in Paris around 5.30pm. A
short metro ride took us to Clichy where we booked into a youth
hostel before looking for a place to eat. Friday morning, the
team members all weighed-in successfully, and then headed across
Paris to visit Sport 7 and Notre Dame. After lunch, we returned
to Clichy... and a rest before the competition started.
Preliminary bouts began at around
6pm and continued until late evening, with five fighting area's
in constant use the action was non-stop. Preliminarys continued
on saturday morning, and early afternoon, with the finals taking
place saturday evening. Rachel Shore fought well to gain a third
place trophy, with Julie Gabriel, Laura Gilbert and Antony Crossman
each taking a trip to the podium to collect fourth place certificates.
