Steve Plimbley
Ok so day 2 Mens Indvidual Taikai.
Looking at the pools it seemed as if both Andy & Brian would struggle to get out the pools as they had a Korean each.
The first on in fact was Mark Halls. Stunning start, youngest in the squad , 1st of the guys to fight, & his fist WKC. Bang , Bang, Kote,Kote great start.
Next i saw Andy Fisher v HW17. he also started with a win by a single Kote.
Then its was Gibbo’s turn againt the Russain No8. He carried on the good work by winning by Men, Men.
Brian was next. Unfortunately his Argentian oppenent was a no show , so victory it was but no chance of a fight.
A good start the the guys are looking good.
2nd matches in the pools wnt as follows.
Andy lost to S Kang of Korea by KM
Mark lost to the Russian No6 K-MM
Brian lost to the Korean G Oh by KK
Gibbo beat the Czech No2 by K in encho.
So he was the only one to progress out of the pools.
He fought and lost to the Sinagapore No1 S Krishnasamy by KK
Semi Finals
Kor7 S Kang V Jap9 M Hojo
Jap5 T Tanaka V Kor8 G Oh
An all Japan Final then.
Hojo won by D.
All our boys had a good day,you can see th at Brian & Andy were unlucky to come up against Two of the semi-finalists in their pools.
Lets see what happens tommorrow in the team event.
