There was gold medal joy for two St Albans Girls School pupils at the Sainsbury’s Games judo championship in Manchester.
Competing in the Under-57kg category, Lucy Day progressed safely through the competition, beating opponents with a mix of special ippon throws and powerful hold-downs.
Amy Platten was in action in the Under-44kg section and defeated her final opponent by a full-ten point win known as an ippon.
The pair both train at Redbridge Judo Club.
