STUDENTS from the Crediton and Copplestone PUMA Martial Arts group continue to put Crediton and the South West on the National sporting map, most recently with a string of successes at the PUMA Championships held on Saturday and Sunday, March 23 and 24 in Newbury, Berkshire.

Dave Powlesland, who runs the long-established local schools said it was a fantastic achievement.

He said: “They managed some great performances and brought home another fantastic haul of medals with four golds, five silvers and three bronzes!”
