Low blow


Dominica boxer Lennon Bannis was denied a chance to qualify for the Bejing Olympics at the recent qualifications in Trinidad when his opponent delivered a low blow that was missed by the referee, who then stopped the fight and awarded the bout to the opponent.

What was also sad was that the chance for an appeal was missed for lack of funds... why it costs to lodge an appeal I don't know!

Hello steve, I read your blogs with delight. I am from Manchester, England, and my wife is Dominican. When we visit we stay at the Bath Estate with my father in law, which I think is near to you. I miss Dominica very much when we are in England so your updates are just the tonic to get me through cold winters. I particularly enjoyed your football commentary, as I live close to the ground of Manchester United and am a big supporter. Keep up the good work, and feel free to contact me. david.brettell@hotmail.co.uk

cheers

David
