Jay Kirton travelled to Holland to compete at the very prestigious and extremely tough Dutch Open Karate Championships.  Europe’s finest and most experienced athletes participate at this annual event and Jay was under pressure from start as he was competing in the Senior event, having just turned 18 years old.  However, Jay fought impressively well to reach the show case final against his Latvian opponent.  Jay was beaten in the final but did himself, his club and country proud by reaching the final and taking the Dutch Open Silver medal.
