4-Oct Dublin Open

I made weight at 10am, 75.65 in a GI!

Was about to eat and was informed that it was weighin on the mat, so had to wait for my division to start before I can be actually checked.

So was weighting for my division, Over 30's -76kg White belt.

Bout 12:45 got called onto the mat, walked out and the other comp walked out....with blue belts! My coach had put me in the Blue belt divison! Little shocked, but happy to get my belt.

Bowed to the other comp and we cliniched, I got good grips on him. He didnt seem to strong or willing to try and trow me, I made 3 attempts at trows and the final one we were both off balance and landed on our sides. I was on the bottom and he passed my guard. He stalled on top and I tried to sweep or move him several times, I then reversed and he pulled guard. I spent the last 2min trying to pass guard and not let him tie me up. He made 2 attempts to get a straight armbar, but neither were on. Then it was time.

Was pissed, didnt think he was much better than me, but still he won by 5 points to none. I was out and finished in 3rd place.

Final was pretty uneventfull, the guy who beat me went, got pulled into guard, then he struggled to pass guard, the other guy swept, then back into guard and won on points.

Good day out, could have done better, but was first comp jitters I recon!
