On Saturday 16 August, Shore delivered an impressive performance at the Taekwondo First V Tournament hosted by St Ignatius\u2019 College, Riverview. In a tough match-up, Shore proved to be the stronger team, coming out with a victory of 3-2 reflecting the team\u2019s skill and discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The match started with our very own Joshua Lo. <\/strong>He was excited to get the day going. He showed no mercy and was ferocious in defeating his opponent, ending it with a swift 3-1 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next was our captain, Andrew Gilchrist<\/strong>. He had a formidable opponent. He came out aggressively with some good kicks but just got unlucky. Sadly, he didn\u2019t get the rub of the green, losing 3-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The score was 1-1 and Shore knew they had to get the advantage. Ben Pennefather<\/strong> had a round that was hard fought. It came down to a golden point decider that could determine the outcome for our spot in the finals. Ben proved to be the stronger opponent, prevailing with a 3-2 win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Gordon<\/strong> then stepped up to the mat and was eager to get going. Will fought with exemplary courage and technique. He took a 2-1 lead. Unfortunately, it didn\u2019t end the way that was deserved. His opponent was disqualified midway, however, it was undeniable that Will was the better fighter of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the win was secure, Shore still wanted one more. Christian Wong <\/strong>stepped up to the mat to finish the job. However, he was not the strongest on the mat that day and lost 3-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the close win, the efforts from the First V led to them to an outright minor championship! This result has secured their place in the finals against Sydney Grammar at the NSW All-school in two weeks\u2019 time. The team has much work to do to prepare for this. We shall be training harder than ever to finish what we started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go Shore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christian Wong
<\/strong>Vice-Captain Taekwondo<\/p>\n\n\n\n
