WARRINGTON Samurai Judo Club members gave a good account of themselves at the North West Close Championships in St. Helens on Sunday.

Heather Anderson, aged 12, was the ace in the pack. The gold medal winner impressed in the under 40 kg category.

Polly Anne Bamber, aged 16 and Andrew Gould also excelled, picking up a silver and a bronze medal.

Coach Brian Markie said: "Considering how strong the opposition was our members fared superbly. All 13 of our students performed admirably, not only our trio of medals winners.

"We have a lot of up and coming talent at present and so these are exciting times for the club."
