Congratulations to Isabella in Year 10 who won a Bronze medal at the 2019 Commonwealth Judo Championships.

Competing in Wolverhampton, Isabella won her medal in the pre-cadets -57kgs weight category, which was one of the largest categories.

There were 17 national and international girls competing in this section alone, and Isabella had five fights, with girls from Northern Ireland, Scotland and South Africa. 

A few weeks after this event, Isabella was representing Great Britain in the Judo Championships in Holland and, once again, came away with a bronze medal. 

Speaking of her success, Miss Maggs Director of Sport said, "It takes a tremendous amount of hard work and discipline to compete at this level. So we are all very proud of what Isabella has achieved."
