Seven members were selected to compete in the Shito-Ryu Shukokai Union European Championships in Paris - and six of them came back with medals.

Cream of the crop were John Carr and Laurie Prince, who both won gold medals in their respective 16-18 years group.

Also scooping top accolades were Jake Smith who won gold in the U14s event, and Sam White who took first place in the junior Kata event.

Completing the sextet are Adam Prince and Chris Harrop who garnered bronze and silver respectively in the under 14 event.

Chuffed senior instructor Mick Jones said, "It was a phenomenal performance from them and I am really proud of them."
