A GROUP of students from a Darlington taekwondo school have swept the board at an international competition.

Twenty-two adult and child pupils from the Kim Chungdo School of Taekwondo, in Darlington, travelled to Switzerland recently to compete in the Mudo Open Championships.

Instructor Katey Wallace said: "It was a traditional set of taekwondo sequences on the Saturday, and we won all the categories in that.

"On the Sunday it was more combat and then we won the overall team competition."

The Kim Chungdo school has almost 400 pupils from across the North-East.
