As requested in 2008 I've only done three tournaments:-
World Masters in June - lost both fights in the individual competition.
However, in the teams, I was the lightweight in the Great Britain over 50's team
with Tom Moyse (middle weight)
and Jim McKelvie (heavy weight).
We beat the Russian team in the semi-final and lost to Romania in the final.
I was the only member of our team to win in the final
(by 10 points as the Romanian retired injured).
Stan Cantrell was our unofficial manager.
So we had the Silver medal. This is my second World team medal
as I won Silver in Tours.
National Masters - Walsall - Silver medal in U66Kg over 45s - lost to Paul Sawyer
(again!)
Samurai Masters - this Sunday - Bronze medal in U73Kg over 40s -
I was older and lighter than all the other competitors in this category.
I'm hoping to enter the Welsh Masters in December as my last competition of the year.

At the
British Masters Championships
17th September, 2005
UEA Sports Park, Norwich
Clive excelled himself becoming British Masters' Champion in his category.
Clive Biggs u.66 kg. had a superb day fighting his way to gold. And not content with this, he also entered the u. 73 kg category, in order to secure a few more bouts - he always was a sucker for punishment!
Great news Clive.
At the High Wycombe Masters on the 15 May 2004
Clive Biggs
was the only Solihull player to enter the tournament. He fought in the u/66kg weight category and true to form, two of his fights went to golden time.
In the end Clive came away with bronze.
Well done Clive.

Didn't stop him getting amongst the medals!
