JAPANESE judo exponents will be in York next week. Twenty-eight members of the Komazawa University Judo Club are currently touring Yorkshire and Humberside.

About 25 of them will be training with the York RI Judo Club on Monday at 7.30pm.

Anyone wanting to watch can do so. Admission is free.

Three RI members represented Yorkshire and Humberside in the Roses battle with Lancashire at Hillsborough, Sheffield.

Craig Erron (14), Richard Rodgers (13) and nine-year-old Anna Baxter all took part in the competition, which was won by the Red Rose county.
