Months of hard training even over the festive period were rewarded at the EIS in Sheffield when Conor received a bronze medal. Conor’s coach, Sandy Kirk, told the News: “He produced some fantastic judo and fought his way through to a bronze medal fight which turned out to be a rematch with his first round victor. The bronze medal fight lived up to expectation with a strong performance from both players but I feel Conor’s extra training and determination pushed him to victory.”

Conor, (13), who lives in Seafar and attends Greenfaulds High School, has a promising future in judo. He is a member of the Scottish development team and hopes to continue on to senior international competition.
