To summarise: the tournament was good s- ome very dubious decisions in refereeing were caught on video but there were no biased decisions made.
Out of 9 fighters we brought home 15 trophies, but only six First places so there is room for improvement. We have ten who qualified for the Australasian championships to be held in Sydney in December, where all this year's training will be put to the test.

WELL DONE TEAM DRAGON xx
