Hereford Judo Club landed three gold medals at a competitions day organised by Kiddermin-ster-based Samurai Judo Club.

Two of the women's competitors secured gold medals, with Rebecca Collins winning the Under-57 kg section and the impressive Donna Skyrme finishing top in the Over-57 kg category.

Craig McCloud won the other gold medal in the Over-81 kg green belt and below category which proved a clean sweep for Hereford members because Mark Cooter took silver, while Mike Williams and Mark Wrathall both secured bronzes.

In the girls' junior competition, Jolene Round came away with a bronze medal in the Under-56 kg section, and Herman Mittelholtzer won a bronze against tough opposition in the men's Under-81 kg green belt and below category.

Although Rhiannon Jones had the disadvantage of being the lightest entrant in the girls' junior competition, her efforts were recognised by the presentation of a Spirit of Judo Award.
