The giggling assassin, Grace Goody who weigh'd-in at 57.7kg had two tough fights and won both taking GOLD.
Grace is improving with every outing, said coach Murray. " She listens well reacts fast and trains so hard. We are expecting great things in the future from this 16 year-old. None of her achievements would be possible without the support of her family, and a massive thanks to Granny G."  

Charles Ross made 72.5kg for his first full-contact match. But today fought under light-contact rules and although give over 10kg away in weight took GOLD 
 Jay Snoddon, a very confident 14 year-old punched the air when he came in at the required weigh of, 53.7kg. He received a bye into the final and faced an old adversery Phili Nowak from Poland. What a great match this was both boys skilful full of desire to win, Jay just had the measure of you Nowak and took the nod from the judges and the lifted the GOLD medal.

Lucy McConnell skipped up to the scales with a smile on her face to manage, 54.1kg for her first light-contact match. Who would have thought this smiles little actress had a fire dragon inside her. Three fights in one afternoon,first-up she fought a black belter from Germany lost on points in a semi-contact points fighting match. She fought the same German again under kickboxing light-contact rules and at the end of the fight the judges couldn’t split them and ask them to fight an extra round - Lucy lost 2 judges to one. The winner could not continue and Lucy found herself in a final against a London girl living and fighting out of Switzerland. This match Lucy give away close to 7kg and with that fire in her belly, Lucy did not stop punching & kicking right to the final bell in the last round... and Lucy took GOLD. 

Father & Son duo, Jonny & Jack Wightman were last up to fight on day one. Jonny lost his first fight, the style was points fighting but loved it. In Jonny's second fight, he didn't get out of first gear and was just going through the motions as if in a light training session, the other fighter just wanted it more on the day. Well done Jonny, the quiet man Jonny was too quiet and lost out were he could have won. 

Jonny's son Jack, looked a little nervous all weekend until it was his turn to fight. The 12 years-old was involved in an non-stop action-packed fight. At the end of the two round the nod went to the little French fighter. The referee was shocked and said, " he thought Jack should have had taken the win" but it wasn’t to be.  This was Jack’s first time away home home and on a big stage for this his first international light-contact match. Great opportunity for young Jack and his Dad Johnny and the team as a whole.
