Seven members of a karate club based at the YMCA Hawker Centre (part of YMCA London South West) in North Kingston are returning from last month’s English Karate Championships as victors after winning a whopping seven medals last month.
Florence Bradley, 9; Rachel Eagleton, 12; Fran Hardcastle, 16 and Katie Maycock all collected gold medals while Ciara Gray took home a silver medal. Also, Alex James achieved one individual bronze medal in addition to securing a team bronze for the club alongside Rachel Eagleton.
Satinder Sehra, leader of the Khalsa Karate club, said: “The fantastic results are due to the hard work everyone has put in at training, but also the lovely atmosphere at the club.”
