Muay Thai Amatuer Tournament - 30th July 2006 Results

What a weekend. First going to Sydney Thursday, fighting Friday, back Saturday afternoon running around like a headless chicken all day yesterday.

In the end though very well worth it, had our best little show in three years yesterday. We have a new venue now thanks to Paul Demacoli at Robina that is up there with the RSL and the Sharks, we had Mexican food suppiled by Wahoo's in Burleigh, our biggest crowd so far and great fights all day.

Like to thank all the gyms for coming down and supporting the day and all the fighters for giving it everything you had and hope you enjoyed the experience of getting in there if it was your first time.
