Dundee won the overall competition, with Edinburgh Shotokan taking second place, and Glasgow placing third.

The day finished on a friendly note with teams from different clubs merging to create the best names we have heard to date. ‘Dunnow’, ‘Glasburgh’, ‘Edingow’, ‘Glasgee’, ‘Dunburgh’ and ‘Edinee’, were some of the names battling it out to round up the day.

We hope everyone enjoyed the day and is ready to do Scotland proud at BUCS in February!
