Drouin played host to 110 competitors from 19 clubs right across Victoria recently for a regional Judo Victoria competition.
The competition was organised and run by the Gippsland judo clubs of Traralgon, Drouin, Wonthaggi and Yinnar.
More than 100 spectators and supporters were able to watch 140 bouts throughout the day, from a strongly represented under nines division of 40 players to cadets, seniors and veterans. The competition also featured a 'no limits' division, catering for competitors with diverse and special needs.
"It was truly incredible to see the turnout of so many players and supporters on the day, especially with how hard COVID has hit so many sporting clubs," event coordinator Hunter Richardson said.
"We're looking forward to hosting this event again next year."
