Back to Mauy Thai and martial arts in general has always been an aim, but life, excuses and mental health always decided it wasn't time. Now having good people and the motivation to overcome and show up have been vital in doing what I love. Onwards and upwards always trying to reach my best version for me and the people in my life.

Massive congratulations to Belfast Celtic Colts winning the SBYL Supplementary Cup at the Danny Blanchflower stadium.

A fantastic match to watch and be a part of. I cannot begin to say how proud I am of each and every one of the cubs. The hardwork they put in and the fight and determination showed to come from behind to win the cup.

It has and is an absolute pleasure and privilege to work with Belfast Celtic and hope I can continue to help with their growing success going forward.

Congratulations and thank you to the cubs, the coaches, parents, relatives and friends, to everyone that came out to support and witnessed a team on the rise.
