Judo medal winners
Brother and sister Brandan and Caitlin Grosse of Phegans Bay have recently returned from the Australian Judo Championships with two gold and one silver medal between them.
They are both members of the Ren Shin Do Judo club at West Gosford.
Caitlin won gold in the under-13yrs under-42kg girls division and Brandan won gold in the under-16yrs Open Weight Division.
Due to Caitlin's previous competition record, the judges nominated her for the under-16yrs under-48kg division.
Despite giving away four years and six kgs, Caitlin still managed to win silver and her record at the end of the day was seven fights for six wins.
Brandan, as well as competing against more experienced opponents, also had to juggle his training commitments with the Central Coast Storm SG Ball side.
