Developing Judo in Ireland.

Aileach Youth & Community Centre, Burnfoot, Co Donegal hosted the 2009 All Ireland Judo Championships on the 5th of December 2009.  The All Irelands is the most important domestic competition of the year and this was reflected in the very competitive entry.  20 clubs won National titles and a total of 30 different clubs took home silverare from the North West venue. Host club Samurai Uladh dominated both the competition entry and podium places, winning a staggering 36 medals.  Indeed Ulster clubs in general did very well and obviously enjoyed hosting the first ever All Irelands held in the North.

The results of the All Irelands can be found here , and the medal tables for each category are highlighted under each category:

Minor ,Cadet , Junior , Senior & Masters

The make up of the 2010 National Squad has finally been determined after last weeks event and a full Squad list and ranking
will be posted here very soon including forthcoming International Selection events and National Squad training dates. On behalf of the National Squad I would like to thank everyone involved for all their effort that made 2009 such a resounding success.  

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and every success in 2010.
