The National All Styles (NAS) state championships were held at the YMCA Sports Centre, Darebin, on 8 October.
Peter Conroy was thrilled to be competing, and for the first year, officiating as a referee at the NAS state championships.
As a club, we achieved extraordinary results with nine students invited to compete in Sydney at the NAS national championships. Our club now holds eight state championship titles.
