Locals win taekwondo medals

FOUR young men from the Koryo Taekwondo Centre in Shepparton East came home from the State selection championships held last weekend Darebin Community Stadium in Reservoir with gold and silver medals. 

The wins put them in contention for the National championships to be held in Sydney on the 8th and 10th October later in the year, dependent on how things transpire with the Covid lockdowns. 

Ethan McKay came home with a silver medal, Brad Buchan earned a gold and silver medal, Kerem Bascuhadar won a silver medal and Emre Bascuhadar won his division and came home with gold. 

In the meantime, it is back to training. For anyone interested in taekwondo, they can contact Sammy Rachele at the Koryo Taekwondo Centre in Central Road, Shepparton East or by phone on 0419 393 419
