Aycliffe Thai Boxing Kings Cobra is maintaining strong contacts with the midlands after a national interclub GFC in Manchester; one of England’s leading Thai Boxing clubs. Seven representatives from the local area attended the event with three juniors, Anna Dooney, Kezzy-Jo Armstrong and Mark Simpson, and four seniors; Luke Dooney, Paulie Shaw, Karl Joyce and Sarah Lou Jopling participating. Anna Dooney demonstrated a high level of skill; setting the pace and leading in all rounds against a World Thai Boxing Championship silver medal winner. Kezzy-Joe gave a great performance showing a full style and great discipline over four rounds. Mark Simpson competed against one of England’s best young competitors handling all four rounds well and showing a lot of character after only six months training. Our senior representatives showed great technical ability and strength of character, approaching all five rounds in a level headed manner, representing County Durham and Aycliffe Thai Boxing in a commendable way.
