Tierna Lavery and Alexandria Crowe have been impressing in recent weeks
Tierna Lavery won a silver medal at the Irish Open International Karate Championships, while her 10-year-old teammate Alexandria Crowe also took a silver medal.
Tierna - a pupil of Trinity Belfast - fought her way through the preliminary rounds in the 12 to 13-year-old girls middle weight category with unabashed vigour, overpowering her opponents on the way to the finals. Here she narrowly missed out on a championship title to Scotland's Emmie McEwan. At the end of last month the two girls both won championship titles at the Karate Scotland International Open Grand Prix in Motherwell. Here they met the top young fighters from Scotland, England and the Republic of Ireland.
He is delighted with the girls performance which he says reflects the way their attitude to the rigorous training regime both followed prior to the competitions.
