Eight youngsters took part in the tournament – some in their first competitions – and brought home a host of medals.

Louie Harrison and George and Fredick Emms impressed and Yonas Aldous won three contests with Ippon scores – the highest score in the sport – against bigger opponents to win a silver medal.

Noah Aldous displayed great determination in the senior section and Joshua Heflin put in a mature performance, with both taking bronze medals.

“Contest judo has many aspects and all our players showed great courage, determination and ability - it was a positive experience for each member that took part.”
