Dont want to detract from all the positive comments and texts recieved about the event. But to respond to Alans point and reference to lying.

Let me elaborate...

We are carrying out a full investigation into the suggestion that a club claimed a couple of fighters were not the age detailed on their entry form.

We should always tread cautiously when accusing someone of lying. The JFCC has already acted and verified on the day that the fighter in question was 13 as the entry form stated. The fighter was entered into the 13 to 15 category but then was withdrawn by his corner as it was suggested he was only 12. When the entry form was presented to the camp in question it was accepted that a mistake had been made and an apology given by the camp. Obviously this left a dissapointed fighter in the ring and for that I cant apologise enough.

But please be assured that we will be meeting with the club as they was a suggestion another fighter was not the age they were meant to be. I personally think this was a misunderstanding and not a lie. However a full investigation and report plus appropriate action will be taken.

These events will only be as successful and professional as the clubs that enter and overall this was second to none and I would like to thank all the clubs and fighters for what was a great day.

We made some mistakes and are big enough to admit them, but we wont make them again. However we set out to share good practice and ensure safety & developement in the sport of Full Contact. That we did and the event was well run and alot of effort was put in to make sure it was an enjoyable day all round.

We had one fighter fail the pre fight medical and coach / fighter was advised by the Medical team that a letter from their GP would be required if they wanted clearance to fight. This for me was a massive step forward as all fighters were checked even if they had brought a fit 2 fight form signed by their GP.

Must post results and category winners so Scott can see who he wants to fight.

Scott - Bit surprised you are focusing on -55kg when you have fought at heavier weight recently. I know its your ideal weight but at your age there are not many around:-) There are a couple of fighters at -60kg who would love to fight you. Maybe we can agree a catch weight contest?

Please note any challengers must give their date of birth and also be able to provide license with adequate insurance. If on the day this is not produced then the JFCC can provide but at a cost.

Everyone who attended the event was given a Record Book which had pre fight medical check, weight and fight statistics recorded. Please ensure these are prodcued at every JFCC event you will NOT be allowed to fight without it.

Thanks
