Mixed Fortunes

Dont know where to start with this one ,young Loupy boxed in the NWC NAYCs on sunday ,and was the victim of the most diabolical scoring i have seen [IF YOU JUDGED AT THIS CONTEST AND YOU READ THIS SHAME ON YOU ]how is it possible for 2 super fit boxers ? ,to box 4- 2 minute rounds ,
and in their opinion only land 7 shots resulting in Loupy losing the contest 4-3 ,i would say they were either falling asleep as it was the last bout of a 19 bout tournament or maybe something a bit more sinister . Any ways Mike your gonna be a star lad you performed superbly and things can only get better ,[ sounds like a song ].

North Mersey Lions
The lads done it again yesterday beating the Maggies 4-1 in the quarter final of the league cup Mcshane opened the scoring with a wonder strike again he is now well on course for leading goal scorer ,Sean Preston the rampaging fireman popped up with 1 after a fine move between himself and Cleggy .shock of the day was Mick Balmer,who hasnt been over the halfway line all season , netting after a fine cross from Dean Siadankay , halftime 3-0 The second half was a scrappy affair ,but give the Maggies credit for making a real good game of it but try as the might they could not break down the lions defence ,with 20 mins to go Dean Sid scored,to his relief after missing a hand full of chances ,with minutes to go Maggies scored a well deserved goal. Next game Sunday 3 Feb against Altway Valentine at home

MICK AND PAUL

Saturday 19-1 2008 saw young Paul Dickman have his 5th contest at Long Lane ABC against an opponent who was a real handfull,Chris Eyres from [ Dovecot ABC ]gave it a good go, but was no match for the elusive Dickman ,whos counter punching and over all ring craft ,was far superior to his opponents ,who at times was left punching fresh air ,as young Paul glided round the ring at will,and earned himself a well deserved win .
Making his debut on this same bill was Michael Murphy against Chris Cullen from Skem ABC,a very nervous Mick was shocked by the ferocity of Cullens attack from the opening bell but settled down after shipping a few good shots proving early on that he has agood chin ,as expected the 2 0f them went hammer and tongue for the first 2 mins with both of them suffering bleading noses,Micks defence was non exsistant, as he seamed to block every shot with his face { head down spud ].
The second round started like the 1st with cullen coming out like a lad possesed,But he ran into a brick wall as Mick fired back with quick powerfull shots catching Cullen on the way in ,a powerful right hand landed on Cullens left eye causing a split underneath ,the referee stopped the contest to protect the lad from further injury ,giving Mick his first victory by stoppage ,but he has a lot to improve on ,well done son.

Good Weekend

Morning Folks our lads did themselves proud at the weekend,Mick Rigby and MIck Loup in the west lancs and cheshire boxing finals,and our football team with an other emphatic win .

Mick and MIck were both up against it in the CYP boxing final both having to give vast experiance away ,Mick Rigby went in with an opponent who had 21 more contests than him, and he performed outstandingly considering , he battled valiently over the 4 rounds but his opponent J Collerton West Wirral ABC showed his experiance and used the ring well ,to edge it on a points decision[ well done mike done us proud lad ].

Loupy long legs the enigma of our club confounded us all with a narrow points decision over Tom Jones Skem ABC,it was a scrappy contest with young loupy looking at times like a preying mantiss on speed ,tom jones stuck to his boxing ,but i dont think with all his experiance ,that he has met any one like our mick, or would want to again ,going into the last round it seemed that young tom was ahead and just needed to win it to seel a victory ,but loupy dug deep and came back with some fast combinations wich seemed to score ,and i think to lots of peoples amazement he was declared the winner.Speaking to mick after the bout he admited that he must do lot better to progress any further in the competition.


Noth Mersey Lions FC had an other good win over Arriva Buses ,who at best were a very poor side ,who looked out of their depth in the prem division the game got off to a slow start ,but with the Lions dominating procedures it was 2 - 0 at half time with goals from Mcshane and Millington .Manager Phil Rafa Holmes gave the team a good rollicking at half, time telling them to cut out the crying and arguing and concentrate on the football ,it seemed to do the job ,because they were transformed in the second half scoring another 5 goals,Adam Millington banged in 2 more for his hat trick[ but hes not getting the ball till he pays his subs ]. Striker Johny Gladwell had to go of with a serious injury to his manhood ,and was replaced by Lee Siadankay ,who went in at centre half ,with Dean Siadankay put up front ,wich was an inspired move by the manager as Siadankay ran their defence ragged and topped of his performance with a net busting goal.Maca netted again with a superb effort,and with minutes remaining D Clegg scored with a glorious lob over the keepers head Final score 7-0 .

About Us

People have been asking how we came to be ,so here is a quick summary of what we are .
The Club started above the Red Lion Pub in Litherland Liverpool in 1999 ,i had worked for the local youth service part time for a few years,but got totally peed of with where it was going ,which was no where. They didnt seem to realise at that time how sport was an ideal way for young people to feel they belong and express themselves in a positive way ,with no pressure to acheive,especialy after being in education all day ,it also keeps them healthy and teaches respect for themselves and their opponents.
The surrounding areas of where our club is situated is classed as a deprived area there is quite alot of unemployment, drug related crime and anti social behavior,plus gang related activities.We like to think that the time the youngsters are in our care , that it remains a place of hard work ,dicipline [ SELF ],FUN and also a safe haven for a couple of hours a night a few nights a week. there you have it Sid
