ITF Aragon Open 2010 - Spain

ITF Aragon Open March 2010, Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain

James Dwyer and Paul Manning traveled to Zaragoza with other members of the Taekwon-Do Ireland Team. Paul beat a local Spanish fighter and then an English fighter before losing in the Final to the current European Champion. James comfortably won Gold in the middle-weight section. It was a great weekend overall as everyone got to enjoy the Ireland V Scotland Rugby Match (disappointing result) in Zaragoza city center after the competition.
