A MARTIAL arts duo struck a chord with visitors to a family fun day in Thongsbridge.
Liam Richards and Danny Ball, better known as Strike, appeared at the sports-themed Bank Holiday event to raise money for charity.
The Britain’s Got Talent finalists showed youngsters some martial arts moves before performing their show-stopping TV routine for the delighted crowd.
The day also featured a circus skills workshop, tennis, cricket and bowling tournaments and a fundraiser with former Derbyshire cricketer Glenn Roberts.
The event at Thongsbridge Tennis Club raised over £1,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
It was started three years ago by Jason Brook in memory of his sister-in-law Rosie Bellamy who died from cancer 10 years ago.
A trophy given to the winner of the cricket tournament was in the 23-year-old’s name.
Jason said: “We’ve done this event for a few years but this year wanted something bigger and better as a fitting way to mark the 10 years since Rosie died.
“It was an absolutely fantastic day and everybody went home with a smile on their faces.”
