Two members of Central Taekwondo Academy represented Great Britain at the Cadet European Championships in Romania - 8th to 11th September 2016.

Erin Shaw, aged 13 and Neve Hogg, aged 11 both from Larbert were part of a 20 strong team from the UK at the event.

Erin was very unlucky losing 1-0 against Serbia in a really tight first round match.

Neve beat Israel convincingly in her quarter final and had to settle fro Bronze after losing out to Germany in the semi-final. There were only 3 British medallists but it was enough for GB to finish 4th place out of 42 countries competing. A fantastic result for Neve, as this was her first major international.

Both girls are now focusing on selection for next year’s World Cadet Championships. They are amongst 8 Central Academy members on the GB Development Programme, training regularly at the National Taekwondo Academy in Manchester.
