Mention must also go to Bethany Wood, who narrowly missed out on a podium place in a strongly-contested bronze medal battle.
Rush’s Darcy O’Connell, who fought with determination, should also be proud of his seventh-place finish in a hard category.
Coach Laurie Rush said he was particularly pleased with the medal count and added: “There were Rush judoka who are at a level where they are expected to do well.
“That comes with its own pressure but they performed brilliantly.
“There were also players testing themselves at this level for the first time. They too performed brilliantly.
“A special mention to Paddy, I can’t remember celebrating a bronze medal so much.”
