TWO judo stars set to compete at next summer’s Rio Olympics called in at Dearne Valley College to give a masterclass in the martial art.
Ashley McKenzie and Owen Livesey, who are both in Team GB, were at the Manvers campus on Monday as part of their ‘Road To Rio’ programme.
Londoner Ashley, 27, and Owen, 24, from Wigan, gave a masterclass in the sport to both junior and senior pupils.
The pair, who both claimed gold medals at last year’s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, were guests of the local Miramar Judo Club who are based at the college.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
