Taylor Chrisp & Evan Anderson take medals at the Cadet European cup  in Riga

 Two BJC judoka were successful enough to take away medals from the Cadet European cup in Riga, Latvia.

Both have been with the BJC since they were small and have practiced their judo at Blyth Juno Michi in Newcastle with Head Coach John Chrisp 6th dan BJC.

Taylor and Evan both travelled to Latvia to compete in the Riga Cadet European Cup (19th October) 

Taylor competed in the -48kg category. She won her first contest against Finland followed by a loss in her second against Poland but went on to win her next 3 contests against Portugal, Sweden and Poland to win bronze. A great achievement for Taylor considering she’s still only a first year cadet in the IJF.

Evan competed in the -55kg category and had a fantastic start. He won 3 contests against Estonia, Poland and Lithuania to make it into the final where he lost to Lithuania to settle for silver. 

Both players also represented GB in the cadet European Championships in Bulgaria in June.
