London 2012 hopefuls Tom Reed and Megan Fletcher both won medals when the British Judo Olympic squad competed on home soil for the first time this year.

Reed struck gold in the men's under-81kg category at the Senior British Closed Championships, while Team Bath training partner Fletcher won bronze in a hard-fought women's under-70kg competition.

Both are part of the 27-strong Olympic squad, having met the selection requirement of being ranked in the world's top 100 at the end of 2011.

There was more Team Bath success at the championships in Sheffield, with Jan Gosiewski impressing as he won the under-73kg title.

Silver went to Kate Walker in the women's under- 63kg class and fellow Bath graduate Andrew Burns bagged bronze in the under- 90kg section.

In the junior competition, Sam Potts won under-90kg gold and fellow sports performance student Natasha Maslen took silver in the under-70kg class.

Reed, Burns, Fletcher and Walker return to action at World Cup events next weekend with the goal of scoring ranking points that could help them qualify for 2012.

The men compete in Tbilisi, Georgia, while the women are in Sofia, Bulgaria. Reed and Fletcher are both members of the British teams but Burns and Walker are self-funding their participation.

Juergen Klinger, head judo coach at the University of Bath, said: "It's tough for the self-funded athletes but they have a real passion to try to qualify for the Olympics.

"It's also good to see some young players coming through and doing well in the junior championships, it shows we're doing a good job here.

"There's a good atmosphere in the group and we're moving forward."
