HKS star Mahoney wins title at G Camp
A young martial arts fighter from HKS Thaiboxing Club in Horwich has won a British title belt.
Libby Mahoney, who hails from Adlington, also has the role of instructor at the club off Emmett Street.
The 20-year-old made the short trip to G Camp, in Manchester, to compete alongside another HKS competitor, Bolton's Alexia Moores.

Young Alexia was unlucky to lose against a tough opponent, but Mahoney won her contest.
It was a tough five rounds but she got the decision to make her parents and all her clubmates at the gym proud.
Mahoney has been training at HKS Thaiboxing for 11 years and teaching for five.
She did a few inter clubs when she started Thai boxing, then decided she did not want to fight but enjoyed the sport.
However, in February this year she decided to get back into the ring and her British belt proves it was the right move.
