The X-Cup was held at Fremantle PCYC. There was a good turnout from the Freo, Claremont and Gosnells clubs which set things up for an exciting day of wrestling.
Fremantle was well represented by our school-age team, our kids and our women's duo (Emma and Rhea). Congratulations to Kieran and Sean on their first wrestling tournament. Kieran wrestled well in all his matches and showed great potential. Lucy had a tough exhibition match against Hayden, but lost out to his size and strength despite wrestling well. Hayden then went on to wrestle 3 more tough matches and gaining great experience in the process.
Daniel Mitchell and Daniel Carrigg both were in good form, indicating that their preparations for the school-age tournament are on track. Mitchell had a match against Shahab and was beaten by his opponent's strong tie-ups and double legs. Despite the loss, Mitchell fought hard and was proactive in trying to take Shahab down. Mike Wood had a mixed day, winning his first match but then getting pinned by Carrigg in a quick scramble. Nonetheless, his techniques were looking sharp and, with the right training, should continue to improve at a fast pace.
Emma and Rhea wrestled each other, as they have done in many competitions in the past. Rhea went for an early takedown and looked promising, but once on the ground lost out in the scramble and got pinned by a beautiful headlock throw by Emma.
The youngsters, Andrew, Kai, Nick and Sean, put on a good show. They wrestled in great spirit and entertained the crowd at the same time too.
