Peter said: “I was delighted, I am really trying to compete as much as possible this year as I try to get to the Taekwondo Commonwealth Games at the end of the year. I hope to make the team for the Games in Scotland in November.”

Peter, who won Gold in the Masters section, is a 5th Dan Master and is currently training for his 6th Dan, however, he requires another five years’ training.

Peter, who has been teaching at the Lisburn club for 20 years, also hopes to bring a team from the local club to Copenhagen in September.

Peter would like to thank Sport Lisburn for their support. For more information visit www.lisburntaekwondo.co.uk.
