Chad
Cross from Taekwondo Oh Do Kwan was unlucky to lose against Thomas Power from
Tans Taekwondo
Queensland
in the final of Male welter weight, having won the junior division the day
before
Chad
found himself again in the finals against Thomas, who had dispatched
Chad
’s club mate Andrew McLagen and Lim Toh Huei from
Malaysia
in earlier rounds. At the end of three rounds the score was locked at eight all
and went to sudden death, with both players kicking simultaneously and hitting,
Thomas had the more clean impact which got him the judge’s point and a well
deserved win.
