Well done to all CAMA members who competed, officiated, and helped out at the Cambridge Open on Sunday 21st August 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially well done to young Bella Petchell (11), who had four bouts during the day, the first against a girl from Birmingham (who was quite a bit bigger than her, although a similar age to Bella), and then three lads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella won her first three bouts, but her fourth bout against a very good lad from Northern Ireland was a contest too far for her. Suitable matching on the day <\/a>was difficult due to a lack of junior entries. Our own fault for picking August, and the peak holiday period I suppose!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the above, Bella\u2019s Young Teen brother Billy (aged 13) was matched in his first contest against an 18-year-old Adult opponent. Billy put on a good show, but he had to settle for second best on this occasion. He had just one other contest (again due to a lack of suitable opponents), which he won, against a very sporting, but somewhat smaller lad from N.I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to all those who came from various other parts of the U.K. to support the event. Especially good to see a return to Officialdom by our old friend Richard Muggeridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
