However, I just want to say a huge thank you to all our older judoka (who are also accredited Judo SA Coaches) who did a sterling job of looking after our fighters on the day. Louw Schultz, Gerhard Schultz, Louis Truter, Willem Truter and Raydon Diab – I am so blessed being able to leave our judoka in your very capable hands.”
