Jonny and Jade judo champs

Stanmore Bay brother and sister Jonny and Jade Milne have both attained the number one ranking in NZ for judo in their respective grades.

Since July, when Hibiscus Matters last spoke to the Whangaparaoa College students, both have competed in the North Island Championships on the Kapiti Coast, the South Island Championships in Nelson and the October 27-28 National Championships in Christchurch.

Their results cemented Jonny’s number one ranking in the senior boys U36kg category and increased Jade’s ranking to first in the senior girls U52kg category.
