In the over-26kg category, Sam Small won bronze, Alfie Collyer - who won the best spirit award - took the silver medal and Matthew Sambrook collected the gold.

The eight to 15 years group took part in a convention competition where the first to score the maximum Ippon, wins.

In the under-32kg weight, where contestants compete for the Len Paxton Trophy, Zach Johnson took top honours, Reece Birrell won silver and bronze medals went to Abigail Smith and Katie Maude, who also won the best spirit award.

The Benard Hammond Trophy, in the under-45kg category, was won by William Radford - who also put in the best throw - ahead of Oscar Collyer, who claimed silver, and bronze medalist Leonardo Palay.

The over-50kg section saw Annaliese White win the Kelly Francis Trophy, Paige Stenning secured silver and Lily Smith placed third for the bronze.
