RESULTS: 2008 Ultimate Open Championship

Team Gurumu have just returned from the Ultimate Open Championship that took place at The Metro Dome Leisure Complex in Doncaster on Sunday 12th October 2008. As it was a northern regional championship, Gurumu had only taken a fairly reasonable team up to Doncaster. The team mainly consisted of our Gurumu Elite fighters and a few hand picked students to see how they cope with a more advanced championship where the standard of fighters are a lot higher.

There were some great fights from some of our pee wee (under 9 year olds) and cadet (10 – 13 year olds) fighters. There was some mind blowing performances from some of the junior fighters.

Our Junior and Senior fighters did not have a great day, they could have picked up their pace and could have done a lot better but never the less they did their best and that's what is important.

The team managed to win in total 5 Gold, 3 Silver and 6 Bronze medals lifting the 3rd Place Team Trophy.

Finally our club appreciation goes to all our coaches (Harwinder Singh, Pirabu Manickam and Manikandan Renganathan), our championship management team and all our supporters.
