The Institute of Sport in Sheffield was treated to a day of exciting sporting action in the 2015 Junior British Championships on Saturday 12 December with the next generation of British judoka producing some outstanding judo.

With a number of strong cadets looking to back up their efforts from the previous weekend and with the prospect of a place in the Senior Championships with a top two placing it was no surprise that so many contests came down to the wire.

Olivia Piechota (JSC/Harris) took the Junior title in the -44kg category for the third year running, a great way to end a year that has seen her crowned Cadet Player of the Year.

In the +100kg Valentino Volante produced some superb tactical judo to hold off the challenge of the powerhouse Cadet heavyweight Wesley Greenidge to take gold.

Peter Miles (Bradley Stoke) continued his comeback from injury as he won the -60kg category holding off the challenge of David Ferguson (Pro Judo).

The -70kg was another exciting category with Kelly Petersen (Hardy Spicer 83) producing a superb win over Shelley Ludford (Osaka) to take the title.
