As with all 1st time events there was always going to be lessons to be learnt, that's a given, but with a good venue, good support team, some absolutely fantastic reffereeing from Bob Taggart and Mark Elwood, things were spoilt for me and my team by some lying ......! which served to undermine what in theory is a fantastic conception, much long overdue. Just a quick apology to Ross Barrett from Ireland though who's daughter was due to fight one of our SaXon girls, who just before the fight pulled out. Shame for Beth who had travelled from Ireland for the fight and in Hiensight it is possible to see how it could have been seen as our girl getting the jitters about fighting young Beth. But as I said to you Ross, she said she was ill and who am I to question her, fact is yesterday she was confirmed to have tonselitus ( please excuse the spelling ) not the jitters. Still glad to she Beth got her a after all.Still glad I not the type of coach to have made her fight like was suggested.
