Black Scorpion Karate CIC – ESKF Ireland Karate Championships, Dublin 🇮🇪

On Sunday, 5th October 2025, some of our competition squad travelled to Dublin, Ireland. They went to take part in the ESKF Ireland Karate Championships. It was held at the Sport Ireland Campus.

With Storm Amy in full swing, we think they deserve a medal just for getting there! ✈️💨 Despite the challenging weather, our athletes and families showed true Black Scorpion spirit. They arrived safely at the venue, where they delivered an incredible performance.

A huge thank you to our parent coach, Terry. Once again, he was an absolute boss on the day. He guided, encouraged, and herded the cats like a champ! 🐾👏

🙌 Reflections

Competing internationally is always an incredible experience, but doing it in stormy conditions made this one particularly memorable.

We’re so proud of Holly and Darcey for their results, composure, and teamwork. We are always grateful to the parents and supporters who helped make the trip possible.

A fantastic day for them and another milestone for the Black Scorpion Karate family 🖤❤️
