LATEST NEWS FROM RINGSIDE

So here I am as promised to bring you the latest news from ringside: and it’s looking like a triumph for the ‘Dream Team’ of St Bernard and coach, ‘Skidders’ Skidmore.
Early rounds seemed to be going to ‘Mad’ Mackintosh with a couple of well timed letters to the Council’s Complaint Sub-Committee getting past St. Bernard’s guard, but as the rounds progressed ‘Mad’ became more and more scrappy and was warned several times for hitting below the belt.

The warnings went unheeded and in the seventh, ‘Mad’ was required to take a standing ten count for unseemly gloating. Still the low blows came in the form of emails and letters but they were badly aimed. Skidders advice from the corner was sound: ‘Keep yer guard up……stay off the ropes’.

Then, in the eleventh, the Sub committee found ‘No Action Required’ and ‘Mad’ hit the canvas like a sack of Maris Pipers. He took an eight count and just made it to his feet before the bell. As I speak, his corner are working frantically to staunch the flow from several nasty looking paper cuts.

They may throw the towel in.......He may make the final round.........The crowd are on their feet..... ‘St Bernard, St Bernard’ they chant. Is there any stopping ‘THE DREAM TEAM’? We’ll find out in the twelfth………..
