Tom competed in the 16-17 -76kg category on the 22nd of April. Tom beat all of his opponents fairly comfortable with three out of four fights stopping early due to leads of 8-0, 9-0, 8-0. The final was more closely contested, but tom saw off opponent Jerome Brown, a previous European silver medalist, with a 4-0 victory.This is the fifth time tom has won he English championships, and the second time he has done so without being hit with a scoring point.

Came back from Sweden with a gold medal, good competition, and should be there next year

I have won the Dudley News Sports Personality of the year, thanks to everyone who has voted for me.
