Five members of the same family helped Lewes Bridgeview win the overall title at the Sussex Team Judo Championships at Worthing.

Seventeen-year-old twins Jeremy and Becky Fielding, together with Jon, 13 and Simon, 10, combined with father Dave to create history for their club.

Jeremy and Becky each claimed gold medals and dad helped himself to a silver medal.

Club coach Dave said: "I think it is a record to have five members of one family at one championship.

"We didn't think Simon would progress as quickly as he has but he's now good enough to compete.

"He and Jon missed out on medals but we were all part of a milestone for the club.

"I'm delighted for Jeremy and Becky.

"They have a bond and the fact that they fight like cat and dog during training has helped speed up their development at judo.

"It's has always been a dream of mine to play judo with all my youngsters and now it has come true.

"We've won the girls title and the boys titles at different times but never the overall one."

Jeremy and Becky attend Park College (Eastbourne), while Jon is at Hailsham Community College where his father is a teacher.

Simon is a pupil at Grovelands (Hailsham).
