Layerthorpe's Multi-Masters Academy celebrated two victories during their junior Thai-boxing team’s first taste of competition.

Ten-year-old Megan Patterson and Cameron Shaw, 12, both emerged triumphant from their fights at the Golden Team Thai-Boxing Show at Leeds.

Sam Watkinson, ten, also drew his contest while Toby Shaw – the baby of the group at eight – was defeated but his thrilling bout was later named fight of the tournament.

Danny Edwards, 12, gave a warrior-like performance as well before losing to his opponent.

Proud coach Gaz Watkinson said: “I was very pleased with them considering the academy has only been going for three months and this was our first competition.”

Watkinson added his thanks to sponsors Wot A Waste, Say Scaffolding, Paul Waddington Flooring, Ajay’s Painting and Decorating, Calvert’s Carpets and MKM Builders.

The Multi-Masters Academy hold mini masters sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5pm to 6pm and on Saturdays from 11.30am to 12.30pm.

FIGHTING-fit expectations have been mightily exceeded at York’s Multi Masters Academy.

Barely four months after first opening, the Layerthorpe-based martial arts Academy has notched a brace of cage-fighting conquests.

Middleweight Dean Croft and light-heavyweight Mark Jones were the daring duo, who brought a double-winning whammy to the MMA much to the delight of Academy founder and trainer Gaz Watkinson.

He revelled in how his two top fighters travelled to Leeds Cage Club, which has been established for several years, and carved out impressive victories in an extremely partisan atmosphere.
