  AS A fifth-dan karate black belt, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that Jon Lees is capable of hitting things head-on. The sensei at TYGA Martial Arts, which runs clubs in Torquay and Paignton, has been training since he was 18 and claimed three medals at the recent TYGA World Open Championships (see below). So when I hesitantly ask him about the validity of the event and how one club alone can win 30 medals (over the phone, so...

Brixham United had to work hard against Dittisham United and were thankful for Jay Morgan's penalty to see them through. Broadhempston United...
