Amy Livesey captured judo bronze in the -63kg category at the European Youth Olympic Festival.

The 15-year-old from St Helens won her first four fights in the early rounds but was beat in her semi final by Holland's Michelle Schelleken, leaving her in the repeachage and the chance to go for bronze. 

And it was a chance she grabbed with both hands - easing to a win over Ukraine's Nastasiya Kalamiychuk to take her place on the podium.

Elsewhere current Welsh junior and senior national champion Demi Brooks lost out in her bronze medal match to Serbia's Ivana Jandric.

The 16-year-old eased through her opening two bouts but met her match in her semi final against Valeria Ferrari before sinking to Jandric.
