The atmosphere was fantastic and they came away with 4 Gold, 3 Silver & 4 Bronze, the day was to be finished up with a friendly Ireland Squad Vs UK Squad in kumite, the crowd were cheering for both teams and the atmosphere was electric, Ireland were victorious in winning 6/2 captained by Palmerstown student Nikki Murphy which made the day all the better and to finish up with the icing on the cake the Ireland team were awarded the Palma Diosi memorial trophy which they will display with pride at the Hombu dojo in Ranelagh for the next 12 months and hopefully go back to the UK next year to defend our title with their squads remarkable spirit and attitude which every HDKI student showed at this competition, they should be proud of themselves as Ray and Jason as Squad coaches are very proud!
