KARATE kids Steven and Lee Heath have clinched a sensational hat-trick of success.

The 11-year-old twins, who train with Worcester Karate Club, have landed first and second place in Kumite and second and third in Kata.

And not only are the two Worcester boys celebrating their achievements, it is the third successive year they have come out on top.

They are not the only medal winners, however, as Chris Owen has taken a first in Kumite while James Lott took a third Kumite and Michelle Pogmore, a third Kata.

Sense Terry Hughes said: "The twins have a focus and maturity well beyond their 11 years. Their approach to the study of Karate-Do does them credit."
