With September with us, it is traditionally the time when many of our clubs return to action after the summer break.

The Irish Judo Association President is urging the clubs, coaches, players, officials and volunteers to participate and support the many upcoming events organised by the Board and Provincial Councils.

Competitions, Referee courses, Coaching Qualification courses and Table Official training have all been organised.

To support the Provincial Councils the IJA Board have contributed €1000 to each of the Provinces.

Sean Fleming, IJA President, says that the Board are committed to work with the Provincial Councils and hopes that the financial contribution will be an assistance.

We are delighted to be able to support the development of Judo in Ireland for all of the Provinces.
