GB BOXING – BRANDENBURG CUP 30th June-6th July
Ruth Cockerill has recently been away with three Great Britain Development boxers providing physiotherapy cover at a tournament in Germany, the Brandenburg Cup.
There were athletes from all over the world and the competition was fierce. One of the BG boxers, Martin Ward won a bronze medal. This is promising as the development squad are on course to compete as Olympic athletes in 2012.
There were no serious injuries to look after which is a positive reflection on the quality of their physiotherapy injury prevention programme. It was a successful event from both a professional viewpoint and in terms of the competition for the boxers.
