A CAREER-best performance from Sarah Biles earned the Samurai Judo Club member a gold medal at the Kent International Open Championships.

There was also a silver and three bronzes from her Samurai colleagues at one of the toughest events in the domestic calendar.

Competing in the under-57 kilos category, 13-year-old Biles blew her opponents away with some excellent groundwork and holds.

Katherine Lloyd Jones powered her way into the final of the over 63 kilos category but had to settle for silver after a close battle.

There were also bronzes for Emily Watson, Ian Curley Floyd and Annabel Webb in the under-36kilos, over 63 kilos and women's seniors sections respectively.

Craig Seldon, James Talbot and Tom Walker also performed well, narrowly missing out on the medals.
