Wolfpack Martial Arts placed 12th out of over 200 clubs on the medal table at the Italian Kickboxing World Cup held in Lido di Jesolo.
Among the travelling contingent were twins Arran and Freya Drever who stepped up to the 12-15 year old category and contributed to the haul of six golds, seven silvers and 11 bronze medals.
Arran really felt the difference fighting in the older lads division but dug deep through the rounds to reach the semi finals out of 48 contenders and managed to secure a bronze medal in his Points Fighting.
While delighted to get to the podium Arran, alas, had to pull out of his continuous fights the following day due to an injury .
Freya, like her twin brother, found the step up in divisions tough and felt her opponents were seasoned athletes.
Nevertheless, she excelled with her Points Fighting, getting through the rounds to reach the final and going on to win gold.
Additionally, with colleague Eilidh Moorehead Freya won bronze in the team event.
Freya also competed in the continuous style of Light Contact and Kick Light. Resilience took her all the way to the podium, securing three further silver medals and a bronze.
