THINGS are going to be Double-Dutch for high-kicking Debbie Underdown, as she prepares to return to Holland to take part in a judo competition.
The 13-year-old martial arts ace, from Ribbleton, Preston, picked up the silver medal after a stunning judo performance at an international tournament in Holland last month.
Now she is preparing to return there once again to defend her award, and hopefully snatch the gold medal too. Debbie and her brother Anthony, 12, pictured, train in Warrington four times a week along with the rest of the North West's top Judo talent after they were spotted at a local club.
And Anthony isn't doing too bad a job at domestic level, travelling around the country, picking up awards.
