            Result!!!!!!

            A massive well done to both Craig and Mick who had their first full contact fights at the Battle of the Blossom event at Alnwick gardens last night. Both lads did us proud, Mick won with a first round Knock Out and dominated the fight throughout. Craig weighed in 5kg less then the other lad and still took the fight on but unfortunetly it didn't go his way. Also a BIG thank you to Darrin Cornwall for helping Ben Kennedy in the corner was a massive help to the whole team. The video will be uploaded as soon as we get a copy.
