A HAMPSHIRE girl has triumphed at a national martial arts competition.
Jessica Harris, seven, from Romsey, has once again brought home the title of British national champion.
Jessica has trained in Taekwando since the age of three, training up to four times a week, and sometimes more.
She attended the national competition in Sheffield over the weekend of October 5 and 6 with her team mates from LMC.

Mum, Vicky Harris told Jessica: "It’s down to you, Max (coach) and I have done all we can do for you it’s now up to you."
She did not disappoint, winning her first round 2-0 followed by a very evenly matched final in which Jessica showed the Taekwando world what she was made of, digging deep and managing to bring it back in the second.
She went on to win the third. It was a rollercoaster of emotions in that 10 minutes of fighting.
Everyone in the team was in tears by the end. Jessica is now looking to secure her first international title in Belgium in January.
