I attach a couple of photos that you may want to use in the article.  The group photo shows Thomas with his instructor, Donna Harvey and the other trophy winners from his club. Names of the other club members in the photo are Sophia Stanton, Kyle Campbell & Victoria McCarthy.
A brief background:
Thomas is 14 years old and is a member of the Wisbech & Hunstanton Tang Soo Do club. He  only took up the sport at the end of September last year. He entered his very first competition (the National Championships) to gain some experience and didnt expect to be placed, let alone win the 2 categories he entered for his age group (14-16 year old) and rank (orange belt).
