After a long summer and hard training, current English and British Champion Joe Kellaway was the only member of the Ken-Bu-Kan squad who travelled to Luxembourg to compete in the International Lions Cup.  The category included 18 top international athletes from 8 countries and Joe started impressively beating his Belgium first round opponent 7-0, followed up by a 2-0 victory over Denmark and finally another 2-0 win against Netherlands in the semi-final.  His French opponent in the final also came through with high scoring bouts, winning 8-8, 8-1 and 3-1.  In the final though, Joe made no mistake after demolishing his French opponent with an 8-1 victory to take his 2nd Lions Cup title.

This title win was good preparation for Joe, as he prepares for his final competition as a junior athlete at the Banzai International Cup in Germany.  Joe will then begin his long career as a Senior athlete, starting with the WKF World Senior Championships in November.
