Another incredible showing from our team with Ayyub Saleh, Michael Loughney and Gavin McKee all taking home wins in challenging fights at The Takeover K1 and Muay Thai show in The Warehouse yesterday. The coaching staff could not be happier, each fighter fought to their strengths, kept a cool head and did exactly what they trained for. Well done guys.

A huge showing from the teens in Strabane on the weekend – 6 fights and 6 wins! All the coaching staff are hugely proud of how all the lads fought and carried themselves throughout the day – a credit to themselves and the club.

We are building our Ammy, Pro and Teen teams for 2024.

Our 2023 run has been hugely successful and membership of the fight teams has motivated all our fighters to raise their game and challenge themselves on an ongoing basis.
