Selby Novice Karate Competition

It's been a great day competing in Selby with the York squad claiming five medals. The whole team of eighteen put in a great performance in what was a tightly contested event. Well done to Paul Brant, and the whole of Selby Karate Club, for organising a superb competition.

Bronze medals went to Amelia, Lucy and Francis for individual kata, bronze medal to Francis and Lucy fot family kata and silver medal to Mia and Martin for family kata.

Well done!
