Now that the trip is over and we are on route homwe, we want to reflect on the King of the North Box Cup.
We didn’t get the results we were hoping for this weekend. That said, every one of the lads represented the club with pride, heart, and professionalism. There’s only so much you can do when officials allow repeated fouls including headbutts, low blows, and excessive use of elbows and headlocks even after protests were made. No coach will stand by and allow our boxers to be put in that position.
Despite the frustrations in the ring, the event itself was well organised and laid out, and the experience gained will be invaluable for the lads as they move on to what’s next.
Be sure to check out the recap video below to see how we made the most of the trip away.
A massive thank you to everyone who helped make the journey possible:
