  Speaker 1: paus the rain, doesn't it bank holidays? But that was
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: a crack I've gone by. So let's get this show
• 1:32

• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I was back last Saturday actually sharing the show with Ady.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I was a guest on the show as he's the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: main presenter. But today's back in the real chair and
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: with my own Thursday show bringing as much local sport
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: as I can over to you. And what I'm going
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to do actually, I'm going to start with an event
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: that only happened last Saturday and we found out about
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: it and so I popped along to see one of
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the organizers, Barry Barry Pluck. It was the Folkston Amateur
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Boxing Club and they had some of their local talent
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: in action last weekend in what was a home show
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: run at Hawkins Community Center. Now. The show consisted of
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: fifteen bouts, with clubs traveling as far as Sheffield to
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: be part of the evening and Folkston had four boys
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: in action. So first off with senior boxer Eddie Stacey
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: who was making his debut and did an excellent job,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: winning by a unanimous points decision, dominating all three rounds
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: by a boxer from TKO Elite Club in Chatham. Eddie's
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: performances in the first contest. In his first contest was
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: impressive as he listened attentively to his corner and delivered
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a near perfect performance following instructions throughout. Next up was
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: rock O'Hart, the fifteen year old Forston opponent from Base
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: ABC who comes from Enfield. In a scruffy contest with
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the clash of styles, Rocko took a majority points decision,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: making it two wins from two for the Folks and Boxers.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Lucas McKenzie, who attends Folkston Academy, followed against a much
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: taller opponent from Honor and Glory. They're called and they
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: came all the way down from Greenwich. Now. Despite the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Folks and boxer being aggressive trying to close the distance,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: his opponent was very good defensively, not leaving many areas
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: for Lucas to score, and at the end of the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: contest it was Honor and Glory boxer that took a
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: very close points decision. In the fourth bout for the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Folks and the lads. Finally, exciting senior boxer Abu Ahmed
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: was in action against an opponent from Margay Amateur Boxing Club.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: The Margate boxer started the contest very aggressively, landing some
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: big power punches on the Folkston boxer in the first
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: thirty seconds. However, after weather in the storm, Abu sprang
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: into life in his typical exciting fashion and repeatedly continued
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to score well in what was a very entertaining contest
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: for the crowd. At the end of the three rounds,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Abu took a unanimous points decision, making it a good
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: day for Folkston Amateur Boxing Club with three wins out
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: of four for its boxers. Now, the Amateur Boxing Club
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: has been in the town for a very very long time.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: You may remember it was up the Dover Road when
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it was a bit more of an old spit and
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: sawdust ring where they used to practice, and now they've
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: moved down to the f fifty one Center and they're
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: based there. But the stage a competition is a bit
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: tough because when I was speaking to Barry, they were
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: actually putting up the ring. You know, it does take
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: an outside firm of contractors to come along put the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: ring up check. It's all out to the standards. Otherwise
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: no contest goes ahead. But it's great to know that.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, the sport of boxing is very discipline. It's
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: not about knocking out out of your opponent. It's about
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: being decisive, being fit, very very fit indeed, and just
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: giving it your best shot. Really so well up to
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Barry and all the team Minute folks and Amateur Boxing Club,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and they have got another show coming up in the autumn,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: but we do hope to get them in for a
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: chat before then. Right out over bit of music now

• 6:17
  Speaker 1: feet up. But some people have really really struggled, didn't

  Speaker 1: They struggle to wake up and they probably don't come

  Speaker 1: around to about eleven o'clock after a few cups of coffee.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: So are you a morning person or an afternoon person
• 6:28
