BROTHER and sister Jason and Jade Smith have been blazing a trail in judo competitions recently.
Jason, 11, who has won 32 medals since he started competing in the sport at the age of eight, took gold at the Ireland Open Championships in Galway recently.
And his sister, was quick to follow suit with a win of her own, taking bronze at the same tournament.
The pair, who both train at Micklefield Judo Club, train three nights a week and Jason is already looking forward to his next big competition.
He goes to Tilburg, Holland in May to face more European opponents.
