A KENDAL judo player has won selection to the British team.

Intense, dedicated training paid off for Philip Rogan when he captured a bronze medal at the Grosenbeck International Invitation Open Tournament in Nijmegan, Holland.

It led to Rogan earning a place in the British senior men's team to fight in the Belgium Open Championships this weekend.

Fellow Kendal player Mark Wilson also stayed on his quest to qualifiy for the European Youth Olympics, pulling out all the stops for a fifth place.
