Lance Corporal Niamh Brookes and Royal Marine Kyle Shaw-Tullin will compete at the 70th Bocskai Istvan International tournament in Hungary.

LCpl Brookes, representing Wales, and Mne Shaw-Tullin, representing England, are no strangers to international competitions.

They have won Three Nations and Tammer Tournament gold in the last 12 months.

Now they have the chance to add another accolade to their collection in the 70th Bocskai Istvan tournament, and in prime time for Commonwealth Games selection.

The competition begins today with a number of qualifiers, but these two forces stars will be eyeing up Thursday's semi-finals and, perhaps, Friday's final day.

BFBS Sport dived into Mne Shaw-Tullin's fascinating story, including being stabbed eight times at 17 years old, before joining the Royal Marines, in an exclusive interview below.
