European Union Elite Championships

After an exciting week of tough competition, the team picked up a record three gold medals, two silvers and four bronze at the EU Championships in Odense, Denmark.

Khalid Yafai, fellow Olympian Bradley Saunders and Tommy Stubbs all produced gold medal-winning performances to earn a top spot on the podium, while Tom Stalker and Obed Mbwakongo both came away with silver.

Khalid had a 13-3 win over Ireland's Declan Geraghty, and Bradley beat formidable Hungarian Gyula Kate 13-3. Tommy Stubbs won his bout with Lukasz Maszczyk by an impressive margin of 14-3

There was disappointment for Tom Stalker, who lost his 10-4 to Eugen Burhard (Germany) and Obed Mbwakongo was knocked out in round two of his meeting with Imre Szello of Hungary.

The overall medal haul is as follows:
