16-YEAR-old Alice Palmer from Llanellen and Sam Gorell from Abergavenny have just returned from representing Wales at Badminton in the UK School Games with a team Bronze to their names.

The games held in Bath and Bristol was opened by double Olympic champion Rebecca Adlington.

The games are a multi sport event for the UK's elite young athletes of school age. With nine sports, the four day games environment is designed to give the youngsters the feel of a major event such as the Commonwealth Games.

Alice and Sam together with the rest of the Welsh team were successful in winning a Bronze medal for the second year running.

Both youngsters are now looking forward to being part of the Welsh team competing in Switzerland in October.
