​Hicks Karate Club enjoyed some excellent results at the high-class WKU/ICO British International Open in Telford.

​Teams from all over the world took part, but local stars more than held their own.

There was a second place finish for Roxy Briggs (girls under 8, over 30kg points).

Profitt was particularly impressive as he was at the bottom end of his age category and Hicks competed against five German internationals.

Joshua Leonard didn’t pick up a medal, but he was named the club’s fighter of the day for some explosive displays.
