This gift from the 2009 World Championships was presented to me by young student James Meaney who was my first student to achieve international success winning two gold medals at the World Championships in Poland.
James had this breaking board signed by many of the masters at the event and presented it to me in class . James went on to get a Bank of Ireland student achievement award for his international success that year and now has a successful career in the Irish Defence forces.
Nice to discover it again today going through some old items.
