The senior regional championship was held on Sunday in Villares de la Reina, a championship valid to qualify for the sector phase of the Spanish Championship. Doryoku once again led the regional medal table, being the best club in Castilla y León with 12 medals. With this result he improves on the ten medals from last season.

Charlie, despite having obtained direct qualification for the Spanish Championship through the National Ranking, competed in -66 Kg (a category higher than his) taking first place, while Álvaro Antón rose to third place in the box of the same category, achieving a bronze after having a great competition.
In the junior and senior categories of the Spanish championship there is a previous phase called Sector (in this case western sector) where the judokas who obtain their classification through the regional competition compete to achieve a place for the final phase of the highest national championship.
