OLIVIA Turner added another medal to her growing collection of international medals with bronze at the Eernegum Open in Belgium, near Bruges.

As is often the case with Olivia, being just over 70 kilogrammes and the weight category for her age band being over 70 kg, she was up against strong opposition including French and Belgian girls who were around 100 kg.

The bronze is her 36th national or international medal, which puts her seventh on the club’s all time national and international medals list; she needs five more to chase down Debbie Read in sixth place.

At a limited grades competition held at the Samurai’s Zortech Avenue premises the club won a dozen medals, including golds for James Harrison and Rhea Turner.

In the boy's low grades, Edward Martin was first up to compete in the lightweights and he took a bronze.

Alex Spencer and Harry Hannon-Homer were in the same weight group, Harry took silver and Alex bronze.

Scott Hulbert reached the final of his category with a series of maximum point wins but lost to a physically stronger Birmingham player in the final.

Joe Blanchfield took bronze in the same category. Luke Jahromi was the last of the boy's lower grades to compete, and he added another bronze.

In the girl's lower grades, Ida Chamberlain made her competition debut and won bronze, in the middle weights Sophie Davis added another silver to her collection, losing to a much more experienced Wolverhampton player in the final.

In the boy's higher grades section, James Harrison looked unstoppable and highly skilled. He had four contests and won them all within the first thirty seconds with a range of maximum point scores from throws.

The final against a Swindon player lasted just eight seconds before James won with yet another spectacular throw.

Harry Ashen was also competing in the boy's higher grades but was up against much older players. Two wins took him into the final where he lost to a Birmingham player.

In the girl's higher grades, Rhea Turner also looked unstoppable and reached the final with three maximum point wins from a mixture of throws and holds.

The final, against a Welsh girl, was just 22 seconds old when Rhea threw her opponent for maximum points to take the gold medal. Meghann O’Sullivan added a bronze in the same weight category.
