Well what can i say 3 boxing medal 🙂 I think that speaks for itsself on terms of team performance, the prep we had for the games was amazing with all the training camps we was getting around europe and a massive thanks to Richard Thomas, Fraser Walker and everybody involved for making these camps happen.Without them we probably wouldn’t have done so well. The two coaches Mike Keane and Tony Kerr have been great from start to finish and deserve alot of credit and they have also had to sacrifice being away from family members etc like the boxers.
Overall its been a great games for Amatuer Boxing Scotland and all the boys have been amazing in and out of the ring. They all performed in the ring and did themselves and country proud and I am proud to be captain of this great team. The games village has been nice and the lads have enjoyed staying in the village the banter has been good but we get down to serious business when it’s needed.
I’m actually lost for words and cant think straight haha! I’m still in the clouds from winning the gold and I just wanna thank everyone who has helped me get here and am proud of winning this medal for them people. Josh Taylor and Stevie Simmons also have made an awesome achievment in winning a silver and bronze medal. They was both a little down after as expected but im sure in a few days they will realise how well they have done in winning medals here.
Tonight is the closing ceromony and we have a private after party at the Scotland house hotel with free drink and free food 🙂 But where athletes and dont drink ;0) So will just have to enjoy the free food haha. We are all looking forward to having a celebration night together along with all the other members of Team Scotland. It’s been the first time in a long time we have actually got to chill out.
I’m actually lost for words lol big thanks again from the whole team
